Driving on the highway with a C1 license but less than one year of experience does not result in point deductions and is allowed. However, the prerequisite is that the driver must be accompanied by someone who holds a driver's license for the same or a higher vehicle category with at least three years of experience. Otherwise, if caught driving alone on the highway, the driver will face a fine and be ordered to exit the nearest highway. For those preparing to enter the highway, they will be educated and advised to turn back. The accompanying driver should sit in the front passenger seat to guide the novice driver. If there is no accompanying driver or the accompanying driver does not meet the requirements, a fine of 200 yuan will be imposed. C1 Driver's License: The C1 driver's license is one of the codes for motor vehicle driver's licenses. The C1 license allows the holder to drive small and mini passenger vehicles, light and mini cargo vehicles, as well as light, small, and mini special-purpose vehicles. Small passenger vehicles can accommodate up to 9 people. C1 License Test: The test subjects include traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, road driving, and safe and civilized driving common sense.
I've been driving for over thirty years and have seen many novices stumble due to probationary period issues. If a C1 driver with less than one year of experience is caught driving alone on the highway, the traffic police will directly deduct 12 points, as traffic laws require a supervising driver during the probationary period. High speeds on the highway and lack of experience can easily lead to accidents. After losing the license, you'll have to reapply, retake the theory test, and practice driving again, wasting months and money. I advise everyone to prioritize safety—new drivers should practice more in the city and wait until the probationary period is over before hitting the highway. Don't take unnecessary risks. Highway driving isn't just about skill; it also requires a well-trained mindset and quick reactions.
