Where should temporary license plates be affixed on a car?

[Iris]

Automobile temporary license plates should be affixed to the lower right corner of the front windshield and the lower left corner of the rear windshield. Temporary license plates refer to a paper motor vehicle license issued by the vehicle management office, which serves as proof that a purchased motor vehicle can legally drive on the road before obtaining the official license plate issued by the traffic police. The functions of license plates are: 1. To number and register information for each vehicle; 2. To identify the region to which the vehicle belongs; 3. To trace the owner and registration information of the vehicle based on the license plate. The composition of a license plate is: 1. Chinese character: the abbreviation of the province where the vehicle is registered; 2. English letters: represent the prefecture-level code of the vehicle's location; 3. Sequential numbers.

When I first bought my car, I placed the temporary license plate casually. The salesperson at the 4S store told me it must be affixed to the inside lower right corner of the front windshield and the inside lower right corner of the rear windshield, without any deviation, otherwise it could obstruct the driving view or result in a fine from traffic police. Later, through my own experience, I found that using static cling stickers provides the most secure attachment, avoiding the mess of glue on the glass. I remember once on a rainy day, I misplaced it, and the reflective plate nearly caused an accident. Since then, I always make sure to attach it carefully and check the validity of the temporary plate, usually 15 to 30 days, to avoid delaying the switch to the official plate. Safety comes first; such details cannot be overlooked. Developing good habits saves trouble.

As a veteran driver with decades of experience, I know the correct placement of temporary license plates: the inner lower right corner of the front windshield and the inner lower right corner of the rear windshield. Once affixed, the license plate number should be clearly visible without obstructing the view or affecting reflections. Novices often make the mistake of placing them on the outside or at an angle, which can result in fines, points deducted, or even cause accidents. I recommend applying them after cleaning the glass and securing them with transparent tape to ensure they don’t come loose. Always replace temporary plates before they expire and follow traffic rules to ensure everyone’s safety.

When helping customers handle temporary license plates, I always emphasize that the most suitable placement is the lower right corner inside the windshield, not too close to the edge to avoid damage. Just use static cling film for fixation, don't stick it too tightly to prevent glass damage. Both front and rear positions should be considered, and the license plate information must be fully displayed to avoid being unclear in rainy or snowy weather. This method is simple and reliable.

I often remind my friends to place the temporary license plate in the correct position: the lower right corner of the front windshield and the lower right corner of the rear windshield, strictly following traffic regulations. Incorrect placement can easily result in a ticket, costing hundreds of dollars. Before affixing, ensure the glass is dry and dust-free for better adhesion; also, remember the expiration date of the temporary plate to avoid driving with an expired one. Following these small details ensures safer driving.

When applying a temporary license plate, I always clean the inside of the windshield first and place it firmly in the lower right corner—ensuring it doesn’t obstruct my view or cause fogging. Consistency in positioning front and rear plates is key, and I use static cling stickers to secure them firmly, preventing mid-drive detachment. Also, I keep an eye on the temporary plate’s expiration date to avoid delays in switching to the permanent one. Getting these small details right saves a lot of hassle.
