Can a B2 driver go on the highway during the probationary period?
1 Answers
B2 probationary period drivers are not allowed to drive on the highway alone. During the probationary period, if a driver operates a motor vehicle on the highway, they must be accompanied by a driver who has held a driving license for the corresponding or higher vehicle category for more than three years. The accompanying driver should sit in the front passenger seat to guide the probationary driver. Below are the relevant details: Introduction to the probationary period: The first 12 months after a motor vehicle driver initially obtains a driving license is considered the probationary period. Regulations may vary by region. During this period, a probationary driver must display a probationary sign on the rear of the vehicle. Failure to display the probationary sign as required may result in a small fine. Introduction to the B2 driving license: The B2 license allows the holder to drive heavy or medium-sized trucks, as well as large, heavy, or medium-sized specialized vehicles. Heavy and medium-sized trucks mainly refer to cargo trucks, such as the large dump trucks commonly seen on roads. Large, heavy, or medium-sized specialized vehicles include those equipped with special equipment or tools, such as water sprinklers, concrete mixers, and fire trucks. The B2 license also permits driving other vehicle types, including C1 (small cars), C2 (small automatic transmission cars), C3 (low-speed trucks), C4 (three-wheeled vehicles), and M (wheeled self-propelled machinery).
