How Long Is the Probationary Period for a Driver's License?

[DeAllie]

The probationary period for a driver's license is 12 months. Below are the precautions during the probationary period: Driver's License Renewal: After the initial probationary period ends, there is no need to renew the driver's license. If there are no demerit points or other violations, there is no need to undergo review at the vehicle management office or traffic police department. The initial driver's license is valid for 6 years, and renewal is only required after 6 years. Requirement of an Experienced Driver on Highways: During the probationary period, you can drive on highways, but you must be accompanied by an experienced driver who has held a license for more than 3 years. Driving without such accompaniment is prohibited, and violators will be penalized if caught by traffic police. For new drivers who have just obtained their licenses, it is advisable to have an experienced driver in the passenger seat to accompany them for a period of time. This helps new drivers quickly familiarize themselves with road conditions and avoid traffic accidents during the probationary period.
