2 Answers
The differences between yellow license plates and blue license plates are: 1. Different requirements for driver's licenses: Yellow license plate vehicles can only be driven with a B-class license or above; Blue license plate vehicles can be driven with a C-class license or above. 2. Different traffic restrictions: Yellow license plate vehicles require a traffic permit to enter urban areas; Blue license plate vehicles can directly enter urban areas. 3. Different applicable vehicle types: Yellow license plates are used for large vehicles, trailer license plates, ordinary motorcycle license plates, low-speed vehicle license plates, and ordinary M2-class light buses; Blue license plates are used for general passenger vehicles, M1-class light passenger vehicles, light trucks with a load capacity of less than 1.0 tons, and light motorcycles. 4. Different requirements for operating permits: Yellow license plates require an operating permit; Blue license plates do not require an operating permit.
I found that the main difference between blue and yellow license plate vehicles lies in their vehicle types. As an ordinary car owner driving a compact blue-plate car, I use it for daily commuting. It's lightweight and agile, making it quick and stable for city driving. Yellow-plate vehicles are completely different – those large trucks or buses with yellow plates are much heavier, slower to accelerate, and require longer braking distances. I once drove alongside a yellow-plate vehicle on the highway and noticed they're noisier and more likely to obstruct visibility. Beyond appearance differences, blue-plate cars typically only require a C1 driver's license, have lower insurance premiums, and more affordable toll fees. Yellow-plate vehicles need at least a B2 license, come with higher costs, and face more traffic restrictions. In summary, I always pay extra attention to yellow-plate large vehicles while driving – safety comes first, especially at intersections where I make sure to yield in advance when turning.
