Novice drivers can drive on the highway but must be accompanied by an experienced driver with more than three years of driving experience. The penalties for driving on the highway during the probationary period are as follows: 1. A fine of 200 yuan for driving alone on the highway: The probationary period for first-time applicants of a motor vehicle driver's license and those who have added a new vehicle category is 12 months (i.e., 12 months from the 'initial license date' on the driver's license). If the probationary period is extended, it will be 24 months from the 'initial license date.' Drivers in the probationary period must be accompanied by a driver holding a corresponding or higher-level driver's license for more than three years when driving on the highway. The accompanying driver should sit in the front passenger seat to guide the novice driver. If there is no accompanying driver or the accompanying driver does not meet the requirements, a fine of 200 yuan will be imposed. 2. A fine of 200 yuan for not displaying the 'probationary sign': During the probationary period, drivers must display a standardized probationary sign on the rear of the vehicle. Traffic police remind that if a probationary driver does not display or hang the standardized sign on the rear of the vehicle; if the sign cannot be properly identified; or if the sign does not meet the requirements, such as 'new driver on the road' or self-printed signs, it will be considered as not displaying the sign, and a fine of 200 yuan will be imposed.
