Can I drive a Lian Dong Yun car with a newly obtained driver's license?
3 Answers
According to regulations, individuals who have just obtained their driver's license can drive Lian Dong Yun shared cars. Lian Dong Yun is a car-sharing platform where anyone with a driver's license can use the shared cars available on the platform. Conditions for using shared cars: To use a shared car, the renter must be at least 18 years old, capable of independently bearing civil liabilities, and the driver must possess a C2 or higher driving qualification, as most shared cars currently available are automatic transmission models. The shared car account can only be used by the registered individual and cannot be lent to others. Before using a shared car, a deposit is required. The amount of the deposit may vary depending on the type of shared car. If the shared car is not used, the deposit can be refunded. If a new driver who has just obtained their license purchases a car, they must display a probationary driver sign. The style of the probationary sign is standardized. By affixing the probationary sign to the rear of the car, other drivers will be more cautious, thereby reducing the probability of accidents.
When I first got my driver's license, I was really eager to try Lian Dong Yun (联动云). However, I was a little disappointed to find out during the app registration that it requires the driver's license to be held for at least one year. But on second thought, it makes sense. As a shared car rental platform, safety is the top priority for Lian Dong Yun, and new drivers with less experience are indeed more prone to accidents. I downloaded the Lian Dong Yun app myself to check the terms and found that you need to upload a photo of your driver's license to verify the date. Accounts with less than one year of holding the license will be locked. But don't worry, I used my friend's car to practice for a few months at that time, and after getting familiar with road conditions, I could use it. Looking back now, the experience I accumulated during that time was very helpful. If you've just got your license, I suggest driving your family's car first or finding an experienced driver to accompany you for practice. Once you meet the driving experience requirement, renting Lian Dong Yun will be very convenient. The app operation is quite simple, but the prerequisite is to meet the requirements.
Safety comes first when it comes to driving. New drivers may not be able to use LinkTour right away, as their terms of service usually require a driver's license to be held for at least one year before registration. I checked their official website before, and this is a standard setup to reduce risks, especially since beginners tend to react slower and are more prone to violations. LinkTour's vehicle insurance coverage also relies on stable driving experience; otherwise, handling accidents can be troublesome. I think this rule makes sense—the beginner period should focus on practical driving practice. You can download the LinkTour APP and try entering your driver's license info; the system will automatically verify the date. If it doesn’t meet the requirement, don’t rush to rent. Instead, consider practicing more with a private car under a coach’s guidance. Spending extra time improving your skills will make using car-sharing services safer and more convenient later on.
