What are vehicles with white license plates?

White license plates are used for government departments, police cars, armed police forces, and military vehicles. License plate categories: Blue background with white characters: This type of license plate indicates general vehicle categories, including private cars, taxis, small trucks, and minibuses. Yellow background with black characters: This type of license plate is generally used for motorcycles with an engine displacement exceeding 50CC, large trucks, medium and large buses, public buses, construction site vehicles, and driving school vehicles. White background with black characters: This is the exclusive license plate for police vehicles, including those used by public security, traffic police, and armed police. Green background with white characters: These are new energy vehicle license plates. Black background with white characters: These are license plates for embassy and foreign commercial vehicles. License plate introduction: Commonly known as vehicle plates, they refer to the plates hung on the front and rear of vehicles. They are typically made of aluminum, sheet metal, plastic, or paper, and display the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information. License plates serve as a numbering and information registration system for vehicles. Their primary function is to identify the vehicle's region of registration and to allow tracking of the vehicle's owner and registration details based on the license plate.

White-plate cars are what we car enthusiasts often refer to as temporary vehicles, especially those with white temporary license plates. They are mainly used during the transition period when a new car is just purchased and hasn't received its official license plate yet, or during the transfer process of a used car. I remember once helping a friend fix his car—his newly bought used car with a white plate was parked by the roadside, and the police came to check it because temporary plates usually only last for a few weeks. If they expire, the car loses its road eligibility. These plates are quite common, like when 4S shops deliver new cars before registration or when owners are processing transfer procedures. The design of temporary plates is simple, without the blue background and green characters of official plates, making them easy to identify. However, owners must replace them with official plates on time, otherwise, they might face fines or even have their cars impounded. I think drivers should pay extra attention to their speed when encountering white-plate cars on the road, as they are often driven by beginners and may be less stable.

I've been driving for several years and have seen quite a few white license plate cars, which are essentially temporary license plate vehicles. These are the white tags you see on newly purchased cars or during used car transactions. When I bought my own car, the 4S dealership gave me a white plate, and I was constantly worried about being pulled over on the way home. Temporary plates have a short validity period, usually around 15 days, after which you must quickly switch to the official blue plates or new energy green plates. If you continue driving without changing, you'll run into trouble with the police. When I see these cars on the road, I keep my distance because their drivers might lack experience. Additionally, white plate cars are only allowed for local travel; for long-distance trips, you need to complete additional procedures. Simply put, they're just for transitional use—don't treat them as a long-term solution.

In the transportation sector where I work, white license plates refer to temporary vehicle licenses issued by public security authorities, specifically for use during new car sales or ownership transfers. Owners can obtain them with just a purchase invoice, and they are valid for no more than 30 days. These plates feature black characters on a white background, distinct from regular blue plates or new energy green plates, making them easily identifiable for law enforcement. Vehicles with temporary licenses must display clear front and rear plates when on the road; otherwise, they may face fines. Failing to replace the temporary plates with official ones at the vehicle management office within the time limit constitutes a violation. When encountering a vehicle with white plates on the road, I would advise slowing down and yielding, as transitional period vehicles may lack proper maintenance. Remember, only legal use ensures safety.
