Will a Temporary License Plate Violation Result in Points Deduction?

[MakaylaFitz]

Temporary license plate violations will result in points deduction and fines. Non-on-site violations (such as speeding caught by cameras or running red lights captured by traffic cameras) will not be penalized for temporary license plates. However, for on-site penalties (when traffic police stop the vehicle and issue a ticket on the spot) or for very serious violations, traffic police's electronic surveillance can clearly capture the temporary license plate numbers, trace the vehicle, and notify the owner to handle the relevant penalties. Below is relevant information regarding penalties for temporary license plate violations: Temporary license plates can also be captured by high-definition electronic surveillance cameras, which can record the vehicle's driving trajectory. Therefore, violations such as running red lights or speeding will still be recorded. Additionally, apart from high-definition cameras, there are mobile speed detection points on highways that can issue on-site speeding penalties. In cities, traffic police officers and motorcycle patrol officers can also penalize vehicles with temporary license plates for violations. Parking violations with temporary license plates will be penalized: Some vehicle owners believe that hiding the temporary license plate when parking illegally will avoid fines. However, this is not the case. Traffic police can identify the vehicle information through the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) and still issue fines for penalties.

I've always thought temporary license plates are just a fig leaf, as the traffic police system records everything clearly. Last time, my friend thought he could speed without being caught because of the temp plate, but he received a text message within days asking him to handle the violation. Nowadays, electronic eyes are equipped with high-definition cameras that clearly capture the temp plate number, vehicle model, and color, with the system automatically recording it in the files. It's not just the electronic eyes; on-site enforcement by traffic police is even stricter. Once, I saw a car with a temp plate crossing the line at an intersection, and the officer immediately issued a ticket with points deducted. The key point is that the cost of violations isn't reduced at all—points are deducted as they should be, fines are issued as they should be, and if all 12 points are deducted, you'll still have to retake the written test. So never think of a temp plate as a protective charm; you still need to follow the rules on the road.

All traffic rules equally apply during the temporary license plate period, and violations will still result in penalty points and fines. Last month when I helped my cousin pick up his new car, I specifically asked the traffic police team, and they clearly stated that temporary license plate violation records are directly linked to the vehicle identification number and engine number. As long as the information is entered into the system, the owner's driver's license information can be retrieved. For vehicles with expired temporary license plates that have not been returned, accumulated violations must be processed before obtaining the official license plate. The actual processing procedure is also clear: bring the vehicle certificate, purchase invoice, and driver's license to the counter for processing. Out-of-town violations can also be self-handled on the 12123 APP. It is recommended that everyone register their personal information on the traffic police website when obtaining a temporary license plate, so that violation alert messages can be received promptly.

The penalty standards for temporary license plates are exactly the same as those for regular license plates. Driving at 80 km/h in a city road with a speed limit of 60 km/h, exceeding the speed limit by more than 30%, will result in a deduction of 6 points. Running a red light once will also deduct 6 points. Failing to yield to pedestrians at a crosswalk will similarly deduct 3 points. Some people may think they won't be penalized because temporary plates cannot immediately identify the vehicle's license number, but high-definition cameras will record the vehicle's characteristics and the time and location of the violation. The system will automatically match the violation records when the vehicle is registered. If the violations are not handled before the temporary plate expires, the vehicle's annual inspection may encounter issues, and it could even affect the discount rate for commercial insurance renewal.

From a legal perspective, temporary license plates affixed to the windshield hold full legal validity. Traffic regulations explicitly state that 'motor vehicle license plates issued by public security authorities' include temporary plates, meaning penalty rules for violations such as illegal parking, crossing solid lines, or occupying emergency lanes are exactly the same. Temporary plates are categorized into local and inter-provincial types, but point deduction rules remain identical. A professional acquaintance informed me that road surveillance systems have been upgraded with AI recognition capabilities, and the QR codes on temporary plates are encrypted and traceable, allowing access to vehicle owner records within three seconds. Therefore, it's crucial not to take risks, especially speeding on highways, as 12 points can be lost in an instant.

As someone who's been through it, I must remind you that all traffic violations during the temporary license period will be recorded on your driver's license. Last year, my neighbor was speeding in three cities with temporary plates and only discovered at the DMV when registering the vehicle that he had accumulated 15 penalty points, ultimately having to retake the written test. During traffic enforcement, police mainly check two things: whether the temporary license in the upper right corner of the windshield is within its validity period, and whether the paper compulsory traffic insurance label in the center of the front windshield is properly displayed. If the temporary license is obscured or the information is illegible, you may face additional penalties. The safest approach is to maintain the same driving habits as with regular plates, paying special attention that vehicles with temporary plates must not operate across regions, otherwise it may be considered as driving without license plates.
