Will I be penalized if only one temporary license plate is displayed?

If only one temporary license plate is displayed and you receive a non-compliance parking reminder notice, you will not be fined. However, if an official penalty notice is issued, you will be required to pay the fine according to regulations. The paper motor vehicle license plate that permits temporary road use, also known as a temporary driving license plate, is a provisional vehicle driving certificate issued by the vehicle management department of the public security bureau for newly purchased vehicles before formal registration. The validity period of a temporary license plate generally does not exceed thirty days. The advantage of a temporary license plate is that it allows the vehicle owner to drive normally on the road. Without a temporary license plate, the owner can only drive the vehicle after obtaining the formal license plate, which severely impacts the user's travel experience. Additionally, when going to the vehicle management office, the vehicle must be transported there, as a vehicle without a temporary license plate cannot be driven on the road. The biggest drawback of a temporary license plate is its limited validity period. Generally, the validity period for a temporary license plate within the jurisdiction is 15 days, and owners may easily forget the expiration date, leading to driving with an expired temporary license plate. If discovered by traffic police, the owner will face demerit points and fines. It is important to note the placement of the temporary license plate. The temporary plate should be placed on the front windshield for easy inspection by traffic police. Additionally, carefully check the expiration date on the plate. If the formal license plate has been received, it should be displayed promptly, as this also means the temporary license plate is no longer valid. Even if the expiration date on the temporary plate has not passed, driving with it will still be considered as driving without a license plate.
