Will traffic violations with temporary license plates be photographed and fined?
2 Answers
Temporary license plate violations will result in demerit points and fines. Non-on-site violations (such as speeding caught by cameras, running red lights captured by cameras, etc.) will not be penalized for temporary plates. The following is extended information: Temporary license plates: Temporary license plates for vehicles refer to temporary driving permits issued by the vehicle management department of the public security authorities before the vehicle is officially registered due to certain formalities. Legal provisions: Vehicles must display license plates as required by regulations when driving on the road, and failure to do so will result in penalties. Before obtaining official license plates, temporary vehicle license plates must be applied for in accordance with regulations to drive on the road.
Temporary license plates can indeed be caught by electronic surveillance for traffic violations. Although they are paper-based and may lead to carelessness, today's high-definition cameras can clearly capture even the small characters on the plates. Just last week, my neighbor was caught crossing a solid line at an intersection and received a ticket three days later. The traffic police system links temporary plate information directly to the vehicle owner, making it impossible to evade penalties. What's more troublesome is that some jurisdictions may delay processing the violation, only to impose fines and deduct points when you register your permanent plates—a particularly frustrating scenario. Therefore, even with temporary plates, it's crucial to strictly adhere to traffic rules and not consider them as a free pass.
