How Long Before a New Driver Can Drive on the Highway?
1 Answers
New drivers must have held their driver's license for at least one year before they can drive alone on the highway. If the license has been valid for less than a year, they must be accompanied by someone with at least three years of driving experience. During the probationary period, new drivers must display a probationary sign on their vehicle; otherwise, they may face penalties. Before driving, new drivers should mentally prepare themselves, try to stay relaxed, and avoid nervousness, as tension can lead to panic, hesitation in necessary actions, and failure to stop when needed, potentially causing accidents. Additionally, they should familiarize themselves with the coordination of the accelerator, clutch, brakes, steering wheel, gear shift, and handbrake, as well as the proper use of lights, turn signals, horn, dashboard, wipers, and rearview mirrors.
