You may have seen them on the roads, they were indeed designed for that. Since January 1st, pink license plates have started to circulate. A color that allows for instant identification of vehicles awaiting a definitive registration card. This should facilitate checks by law enforcement. Watch the report from this 8 PM news. It is signed Sébastienbert, Max Ragadizi, and Bora Gerirbas.

On the road, you can no longer miss them. Pink license plates like this one. And many of you are wondering? No, I thought it was a color that people could put on it, in fact. With everything, what can we do now? And no sir, they are mandatory. These are the plates for new or imported vehicles. Before, they were white like here with the famous WW. And if they are pink, it's to be seen by law enforcement.

In fact, the objective of this change is really to facilitate identification and control for law enforcement. It is really to fight against fraud. The goal is really to prevent people from driving with an expired temporary license plate. Before, during checks, law enforcement did not distinguish white WW plates very well.

Now, they are therefore more visible and checks are multiplying. Since I got these pink plates, well, I'm only getting checked. Ah well yes, but because it's new. Well yeah, but it says 4 months on the back, that's what I don't understand. Yes, because that's another novelty. On this gentleman's plate, you can read this number 06 26, which is June 2026. This is the expiry date of the temporary plate. After this date, this gentleman would be in violation if he did not change to a definitive registration.

This time, you have the expiration date like yogurt on it. So the policeman is at the car, he knows immediately if the guy is within the rules or not. It must be said that WW plates in the past were the subject of numerous frauds. After 14 months, the license plate number was given to another motorist. This opened the door to registration impersonation. Two plates circulating at the same time and then, unfortunately, it's the last one who has the plate who receives the tickets. You often see it's speeding. Yes. Or after any other road offense, but it's yes, it's mostly speeding. Yes.

And it also allows motorists not to forget to change their temporary plate. If, however, you drive with an invalid plate, you risk a fine of 135.
