Has the probationary period for driver's licenses been abolished?
1 Answers
The probationary period for driver's licenses has not been abolished. The probationary period is the 12 months following the initial issuance of a motor vehicle driver's license. Displaying probationary signs: When driving a motor vehicle during the probationary period, a standardized probationary sign must be affixed or hung at the rear of the vehicle. Failure to display the probationary sign as required will result in a fine. Precautions during the probationary period: If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 penalty points for road traffic safety violations during the probationary period, their driving qualification for the permitted vehicle type will be revoked. For drivers of large and medium-sized passenger or cargo vehicles, accumulating more than 6 penalty points during the probationary period will extend the probationary period by one year. If they accumulate more than 6 points again during the extended probationary period but less than 12 points, their driving qualification for the permitted vehicle type will be revoked.
