Temporary license plates should be affixed as follows: 1. One should be placed on the lower left or right corner of the front windshield inside the car; 2. The other should be placed on the lower left corner of the rear windshield inside the car. Below is relevant information about affixing items on motor vehicles: 1. Motor vehicle license plates should be hung at designated positions on the front and rear of the vehicle, maintaining clarity and completeness. Heavy-duty and medium-duty trucks and their trailers, as well as tractors and their trailers, should have enlarged license plate numbers painted on the rear of the body or cargo compartment, with the characters upright and clearly visible. 2. The motor vehicle inspection compliance mark and insurance mark should be affixed to the upper right corner of the front windshield. 3. Any painting, affixing of marks, or body advertisements on motor vehicles must not affect safe driving.

A few days ago, I bought a new car, and the temporary license plate must be placed in specific positions to be legally allowed on the road. Based on my experience, it generally needs to be placed on the lower left corner of the front windshield and the lower left corner of the rear windshield. This placement ensures that police or cameras can easily spot it at a glance; otherwise, you might get a ticket. Use transparent tape or double-sided adhesive to secure it in place, but avoid placing it too close to the edges to prevent the wipers from hitting it or obstructing your view. Temporary license plates are usually valid for 15 to 30 days—make sure not to let them expire. If it gets crooked or blown off by the wind, reattach it immediately to avoid being pulled over and fined. I’ve seen people just leave it on the seat and end up with points deducted and a fine of several hundred bucks—totally not worth it. Remember, placing it correctly ensures safety and peace of mind.

When I was a new car owner, I had no idea where to place the temporary license plate. A friend reminded me to affix it to the lower left corner of the front windshield and a similar position on the rear windshield. This ensures the plate number remains clearly visible and minimizes inspection hassles. I once tried mounting it inside, but the tape failed to hold, and it blew off in the wind. Later, I wised up and used waterproof double-sided tape for a secure fit. Extra caution is crucial when driving with temporary plates—avoid speeding or illegal parking to prevent heavier fines. Proper placement also protects the vehicle and doesn't interfere with routine cleaning. In short, precise positioning saves both money and time.

The correct way to affix temporary license plates is simple: they must be securely placed in the lower left corner area of both the front and rear windshields. This is the standard mandated by traffic regulations to ensure clear visibility for law enforcement. Incorrect placement may result in fines or vehicle impoundment, so remember to use reliable adhesive tape without obstructing the driver's view. Also, check the validity period of the temporary plates and replace them with official plates on time. Uniform placement facilitates identification and maintains road safety.

Is Dongfeng Nissan the same as Nisan?

Exactly the same, Nisan and Nissan are different Chinese translations for the same car manufacturer NISSAN; Nissan is the official name and trademark of the Japanese Nissan Motor Company, written in Roman letters as NISSAN, while Nisan is a phonetic translation of NISSAN. In fact, it was originally called "Nisan", but due to trademark registration issues, when NISSAN officially entered China, it was found that a company had already registered the name "Nisan", so it had to change from a phonetic translation to a combination of meaning and phonetic translation as "Nissan". More related information is as follows: Note 1: NI actually means "day" in Japanese, such as Nippon for Japan; "san" is phonetically translated from SSAN, so NISSAN adopted the new name "Nissan". Similar cases of forced name changes due to intellectual property issues include LEXUS changing from "Lingzhi" to "Lexus", and ROVER's "Land Rover" changing to "Land Rover". Note 2: Nissan (NISSAN) is a Japanese automobile manufacturer founded by Aikawa Yoshisuke in 1933 in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture. Currently, it has automobile manufacturing bases in 20 countries and regions (including Japan) and provides products and services in more than 160 countries and regions worldwide.
