What should be noted when using temporary license plates for new cars?
1 Answers
Temporary license plates for new cars must be affixed to the front and rear windshield without obstructing the driver's view. Regulations for temporary license plates are as follows: Validity period: Temporary license plates have a limited validity period, not exceeding 30 days in general, and no more than 15 days for new cars. Therefore, it is essential to apply for permanent license plates from the vehicle management authority within this period. Driving with expired temporary plates may result in vehicle impoundment and a 12-point penalty. Geographical restrictions: In addition to time limitations, temporary plates also have geographical restrictions. Local temporary plates are only valid within the issuing region, and using them outside this area may lead to penalties. For those frequently traveling long distances or across regions, it is advisable to obtain cross-regional temporary plates. Placement requirements: Typically, there are two temporary license plates, similar in function to permanent ones. However, their placement differs: one must be placed in the lower left or right corner of the front windshield, and the other must be placed in the lower left corner of the rear windshield. Incorrect placement is not allowed.
