Why Are Training Vehicles Licensed with Yellow Plates?
1 Answers
The reason training vehicles use yellow license plates is due to national regulations, which only permit training vehicles and vehicles carrying more than a certain number of passengers to have yellow plates. The requirements for obtaining yellow plates are as follows: 1. Passenger capacity and weight: Trucks with a total weight of 4.5 tons (inclusive) or more, and vehicles longer than 6 meters. 2. Passenger count: The vehicle type of passenger cars is not determined by the actual number of passengers they carry, but by the maximum passenger capacity specified for that model in the "Announcement of Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products" by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. If a vehicle model is rated for 6-11 passengers in the "Announcement," its vehicle type is classified as a medium-sized ordinary passenger car based on the upper limit of 11 passengers. Therefore, some vehicles with only 6 seats are still classified as medium-sized passenger cars and thus require yellow license plates.
