How Many Points Are Deducted for Novice Drivers on Highways?
1 Answers
Novice drivers are not penalized with point deductions for driving on highways, but they may face fines. If a driver operates a motor vehicle on a highway during their probationary period, they must be accompanied by a licensed driver who has held a driving license for the same or a higher vehicle category for at least three years. The accompanying driver should sit in the front passenger seat to provide guidance. Since novice drivers have just obtained their licenses and may not yet have mastered sufficient driving skills, they might not react promptly in emergency situations, which could compromise driving safety. Therefore, novice drivers need to acquire certain driving skills and emergency handling methods before driving alone on highways.
