Can I Drive Someone Else's Car on the Highway?
2 Answers
As long as the driver's license has been held for at least one year, they can drive on the highway. Conditions for driving on the highway: New drivers who have held their license for one year can drive alone on the highway. Those who have held their license for less than one year must be accompanied by a driver who has held their license for at least three years. Probation period for driver's license: The probation period for newly issued or upgraded driver's licenses is twelve months. During this period, drivers cannot drive alone on the highway and must be accompanied by a driver who has held a license for at least three years for the same or a higher vehicle class. New drivers driving alone on the highway will be fined. If a traffic accident occurs, they will bear full responsibility, and the insurance company has the right to refuse compensation. It is very dangerous and illegal for new drivers to drive on the highway, so avoid driving on the highway before the probation period ends.
Driving someone else's car on the highway is certainly possible, but I believe the most important thing is to consider the legal regulations. First, you must have a valid driver's license and cannot drive without one or while intoxicated. Second, the car must have proper insurance—this is crucial. If the insurance policy only covers the original owner driving on the highway and you're not included, you'll have to pay out of pocket for any accidents. Additionally, Chinese traffic laws do not prohibit driving someone else's car on the highway, provided the owner consents and confirms the vehicle is legally roadworthy. I recommend checking the brakes and tire conditions before setting off—high speeds on the highway can easily lead to accidents if the car is in poor condition. In short, legality and safety should come first; don't take risks just for convenience.
