Can I drive on the road immediately after getting my driver's license?

You can drive on the road immediately after obtaining your license, but first-time drivers must display a probationary sign. Here are other precautions during the probationary period: 1. Special vehicles are off-limits: Article 22, Paragraph 3 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law" stipulates that during the probationary period, drivers are not allowed to operate buses, commercial passenger vehicles, taxis, or vehicles such as police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and engineering rescue vehicles on duty, nor vehicles carrying explosives, flammable and explosive chemicals, highly toxic or radioactive hazardous materials; the driven vehicle must not tow a trailer. 2. No solo highway driving: Probationary drivers with less than one year of driving experience will be subject to strict management and must be accompanied by a driver who has held a corresponding or higher-class license for more than three years when driving on highways. The new regulations will take effect on January 1, 2013.
