Driving on the highway is allowed during the probationary period of a driver's license. Article 65, Paragraph 2 of the "Decree No. 123" stipulates: When driving a motor vehicle on the highway during the probationary period, the driver must be accompanied by a driver who has held a driver's license of the same or higher class for more than three years. The accompanying driver should sit in the front passenger seat to guide the probationary driver. If there is no accompanying driver or the accompanying driver does not meet the requirements, a fine of 200 yuan will be imposed. Additional information: 1. According to Article 64, Paragraph 1 of "Decree No. 123", the probationary period for a motor vehicle driver is 12 months from the date of first obtaining the driver's license or adding a new driving class (i.e., 12 months from the "initial license date" on the main copy of the driver's license). For those whose probationary period is extended, the probationary period is 24 months from the "initial license date". 2. Article 79 states that if a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 points for traffic safety violations during the probationary period, the driving qualification for the probationary driving class will be revoked. If the revoked driving qualification is not for the highest driving class, the highest driving class qualification shall also be revoked in accordance with Article 78, Paragraph 1.
