Temporary license plate violations may result in points or fines. Temporary vehicle license plate: A paper motor vehicle license plate that permits temporary road use of a motor vehicle, also known as a temporary driving license plate. It refers to a temporary vehicle driving certificate issued by the vehicle management department of the public security authority for newly purchased vehicles before formal registration. The validity period of a temporary license plate generally does not exceed thirty days. Submission of relevant documents: When applying for a temporary license plate, you need to fill out a temporary vehicle registration form and submit the identity proofs of the vehicle owner and agent, the vehicle's origin certificate, the whole vehicle factory qualification certificate for domestically produced motor vehicles, the import certificate for imported motor vehicles, and the vehicle identification code.
Temporary license plate violations will still result in penalty points and fines. From my over ten years of driving experience, I can tell you that temporary license plates are legal, but they are by no means an excuse to avoid penalties. Once, my neighbor bought a new car and, during the temporary license plate period, didn't pay attention to the speed limit while overtaking. He was caught by an electronic eye and later received a ticket, losing points and paying a fine. Vehicle information is already recorded in the traffic management system, so violations are still processed, with points deducted from the driver's license and fines ranging from hundreds to thousands. New drivers often think they can get away with temporary plates, but in fact, the risk is even greater—valid for only a dozen days, problems are more likely to occur before switching to formal plates. I suggest being extra cautious when driving a new car on the road. Don't let the type of license plate lower your guard. Safe driving comes first, so you don't end up with a heap of trouble and affect your insurance.
