Can I drive on the highway right after getting my driver's license?

No. Generally, drivers can drive on the highway after completing a one-year probationary period with their driver's license. If traffic violations occur during the probationary period, extending it by another year, then it would be two years. Here are some precautions for highway driving: Observe traffic rules: New drivers should pay attention to traffic regulations and display a probationary sign. Highway speed limits: Before entering the highway, inspect your vehicle. The minimum speed on the highway should not be less than 60 km/h, and the maximum speed should not exceed 120 km/h. Merge in advance: When exiting the highway, merge into the outermost lane early upon seeing roadside indicators at 1.5 km and 1 km distances. Maintain distance: Keeping a safe distance is the most crucial factor for driving safety. Many drivers, due to lack of experience, may misjudge distances, follow too closely, and risk not braking in time.
