Where should the temporary license plate be placed on the car?

Temporary license plates should be affixed to the lower left or lower right corner of the front windshield inside the vehicle, in a position that does not obstruct the driver's line of sight. Below are the specific details about temporary license plates: 1. Concept: A temporary license plate, also known as a temporary vehicle license, is a paper license issued by the vehicle management department of the public security bureau for newly purchased vehicles before they are officially registered, permitting them to be driven on the road temporarily. 2. Validity Period: The validity period is indicated on the temporary license plate, which can be 15, 30, or 90 days. The temporary license plate must be used within its validity period. If the vehicle has not obtained a formal license plate after the expiration of the temporary license, the owner must reapply, but the number of applications cannot exceed three times.
I remember when I bought my car, the placement of the temporary license plate gave me quite a hassle. Typically, it needs to be affixed to the lower right corner of the front windshield and the lower left corner of the rear windshield, so it's clearly visible from outside the car without obstructing the view or interfering with driving. At first, I placed it too high up, which affected my visibility, but after repositioning it smoothly, I felt at ease to hit the road. When attaching it, remember to wipe off dust and grease from the glass with a clean cloth to ensure the double-sided tape or sticker holds firmly. If it's not placed correctly or gets blown askew on the highway, you might get pulled over by traffic police for questioning, causing unnecessary trouble. I myself wasted time adjusting it at a highway service station because I had hastily placed it unsteadily. Before driving your new car home, make sure to confirm this—it's the temporary ID during the transition period, so don't take it lightly.
