According to legal regulations, novice drivers must wait until their driver's license has been valid for one year before they can drive on the highway. If the driver's license has been valid for less than a year, the driver must be accompanied by someone who has held a driver's license for more than three years and has experience driving on the highway. During the probationary period, the novice driver must display a probationary sign on the vehicle. Otherwise, they will face penalties. Drivers in the probationary period are not allowed to drive buses, commercial passenger vehicles, or operational vehicles such as police cars or fire trucks. According to Article 75 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses,' if a driver in the probationary period drives on the highway, they must be accompanied by a driver who has held a corresponding or higher-level license for more than three years. Legal basis: Article 75 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses': During the probationary period, motor vehicle drivers are not allowed to drive buses, commercial passenger vehicles, police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, engineering rescue vehicles, or vehicles transporting explosives, flammable and explosive chemicals, toxic or radioactive hazardous materials. They are also not allowed to tow trailers. When driving on the highway during the probationary period, the driver must be accompanied by someone who has held a corresponding or higher-level license for more than three years. For drivers of small automatic passenger vehicles for the disabled, they may be accompanied by someone who holds a license for small automatic passenger vehicles or above.
