Can Novice Drivers Drive on the Highway?

[LeLucas]

Novice drivers are allowed to drive on the highway, but during the probationary period (one year), they need to be accompanied by an experienced driver. Regulations after the probationary period: They can drive on the highway alone. One major difference between driving on the highway and driving in the city is the higher speed on the highway. Since highway speeds are generally around 100 km/h, novice drivers who are not accustomed to such high speeds may be more prone to accidents. Therefore, before driving on the highway, novice drivers should practice handling the car at high speeds to avoid losing control due to nervousness. Precautions for novice drivers on the highway: Pre-drive vehicle inspection: Before driving, the driver should conduct a comprehensive check of the vehicle, with particular attention to fluids, tires, the braking system, etc. Ensure all fluids are at the proper levels and inspect the tires carefully, removing any debris from the tread. Adjust the rearview mirrors: Properly adjusted rearview mirrors allow the driver to better observe the sides and rear of the vehicle. Note that the adjustment methods for the left and right mirrors are slightly different. Hold the steering wheel correctly: On the highway, incorrect steering wheel grip can lead to veering. The correct grip is to place the left hand at the 9 o'clock position and the right hand at the 3 o'clock position on the steering wheel. The left hand should primarily control the steering, while the right hand rests lightly on the wheel for easy gear shifting.
