Can a newly licensed driver drive on the highway?
1 Answers
Newly licensed drivers are not allowed to drive on the highway. If a driver in the probationary period needs to drive on the highway, they must be accompanied by a driver who has held a driver's license for the same or a higher vehicle category for more than three years. For drivers of small automatic passenger vehicles for the disabled, they can be accompanied by a driver who holds a license for small automatic passenger vehicles or higher. Below are the specific details: 1. Article 22 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law" states that the validity period of a motor vehicle driver's license is six years, unless otherwise stipulated. The first 12 months after obtaining a motor vehicle driver's license is the probationary period. During this period, drivers must display a uniform probationary sign at the rear of the vehicle. 2. During the probationary period, motor vehicle drivers are prohibited from driving buses, commercial passenger vehicles, police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, engineering rescue vehicles, or vehicles carrying explosives, flammable and explosive chemicals, highly toxic or radioactive materials, and other hazardous substances. Additionally, they are not allowed to tow a trailer with the motor vehicle they are driving.
