How many months after getting a driver's license can you drive on the highway?
1 Answers
New drivers can drive on the highway immediately after obtaining their license, but they must be accompanied by a driver who has held a corresponding or higher-level driver's license for more than three years. Otherwise, they will be penalized. Below are the impacts of driving alone on the highway during the probationary period: 1. Insufficient driving skills: New drivers need a transition period of about six months to become familiar with the vehicle's performance and master basic driving skills. 2. Traffic signals: Whether on highways or city roads, there are numerous road signs, indicators, and traffic signals. New drivers often only have theoretical knowledge and lack practical experience, as there can be discrepancies between theory and actual driving. 3. Driving experience: The roads are filled with drivers of varying habits. Due to inexperience and the high speeds on highways, new drivers are prone to misjudgments, leading to accidents such as rear-end collisions. 4. Speed: Highways have strict speed requirements. New drivers often hesitate to drive too fast, and if they drive too slowly on a busy highway, they can easily cause traffic congestion.
