Can I drive on the highway after getting my driver's license?
1 Answers
You can drive on the highway at any time after obtaining your driver's license. However, the first 12 months after a motor vehicle driver initially applies for a driver's license or adds a permitted vehicle type is considered the probationary period. During this probationary period, when driving on the highway, the driver must be accompanied by someone who has held a driver's license for the same or a higher vehicle type for more than 3 years. Regulations for novice drivers: During the probationary period, when driving a motor vehicle, a uniform-style probationary sign must be affixed or hung at the rear of the vehicle; during the probationary period, drivers are not allowed to operate buses, passenger vehicles for hire, or vehicles such as 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; the motor vehicle being driven must not tow a trailer. Precautions for driving on the highway: Before entering the highway, check the wear on your car tires and whether there are stone particles in the tread grooves. If present, remove them immediately, as high-speed driving can easily cause a tire blowout. The dangers caused by a tire blowout at high speed can be fatal.
