Where should temporary vehicle license plates be affixed?
1 Answers
If there is only one temporary license plate, it should be affixed to the lower left or right corner of the front windshield, ideally without obstructing the driver's view. If there are two temporary license plates, one should be affixed to the front windshield, and the other should be placed on the lower left corner of the rear windshield inside the vehicle. If there is no space on the rear windshield, the second temporary license plate should still be carried in the vehicle. Some car owners might think that driving with temporary plates means they have a 'green light' to ignore all traffic laws. However, temporary license plates are subject to the same traffic regulations as regular plates. Therefore, don't assume that temporary plates allow reckless behavior or that they are too small to be captured by cameras—high-definition cameras can clearly record temporary plates. Ultimately, traffic police enforcement is not the end goal; safety should always be the top priority when driving. Only by adhering to traffic rules can drivers minimize the risk of accidents. 1. Temporary plates with a light blue background, black text, and black borders are only valid for driving within the city (local temporary plates) and have a validity period of 15 days. 2. Temporary plates with a brown-yellow background, black text, and black borders can be used for intercity travel (non-local temporary plates) and have a validity period of 30 days. Car owners should apply for the appropriate temporary plates based on their needs. If you purchase a new car and plan to travel across provinces or require a longer validity period for delayed registration, be sure to specify that you need non-local temporary plates when speaking with the staff.
