How long after obtaining a driver's license can you drive on the highway?

[DelKira]

A driver can drive alone on the highway one year after obtaining the license. Within the first year, a co-driver with at least three years of driving experience must accompany the driver. After completing the one-year probationary period without any traffic violations or illegal records, the driver can drive alone on the highway without needing a co-driver with three years of experience. According to Article 65, Paragraph 2 of "Decree No. 123": 1. A probationary driver must be accompanied by a licensed driver with at least three years of experience in the same or higher vehicle class when driving on the highway. 2. The accompanying driver must sit in the front passenger seat to guide the probationary driver. 3. Driving without an accompanying driver or with an unqualified accompanying driver will result in a fine of 200 yuan.
