How many points will a novice driver be deducted for driving on the highway?

Novice drivers driving alone on the highway will not be deducted points, but they will be fined and ordered to exit the highway at the nearest exit. Below are the precautions for novice drivers driving on the highway during their probationary period: Prohibition of driving alone on the highway: During the probationary period, drivers operating a motor vehicle on the highway must be accompanied by a driver who has held a driver's license for the corresponding or higher vehicle type for more than three years. The accompanying driver should sit in the front passenger seat to guide the probationary driver. Precautions for driving on the highway: Conduct a thorough inspection before driving, especially checking fluids, tires, lights, and other items. Plan the route in advance. Pay attention to road signs, and if you miss a highway exit, do not panic. Do not attempt to slow down, brake suddenly, or make a U-turn. Instead, maintain your speed and continue driving to find the next exit to return to your original route.
I've been driving for almost ten years and have encountered many issues with new drivers. If a novice driver during their probationary period drives alone on the highway, they will definitely be penalized, usually with a deduction of 6 points and a fine of 200 yuan. This rule is for safety considerations, as the speed on highways is high, and inexperienced drivers are more prone to accidents. I remember helping a friend last year who had just gotten his license and wanted to drive home. I quickly reminded him to find an experienced driver with at least three years of driving experience to accompany him. Otherwise, accumulating penalties up to 12 points could lead to license suspension or an extension of the probationary period. When driving, I always emphasize that new drivers should practice more on city roads to familiarize themselves with various road conditions. It's safer to drive alone on the highway only after the probationary period ends, as safety is priceless.
