Novice drivers on the highway will be fined between 20 and 200 yuan, with no points deducted. Below is an introduction to the relevant knowledge about driving on the highway with a new driver's license: 1. Basis: Penalties are imposed in accordance with Article 75 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses." 2. Precautions for driving with a new driver's license: 1. During the probationary period, a standardized probationary sign must be used, so other types should not be considered. The standardized probationary sign is in the shape of a water drop, with the words "Probation" in bold Kai font, the main color being yellow, and the secondary color being orange-red. The probationary sign should be placed in a prominent position on the vehicle, and the display of the probationary sign must continue for the entire 12 months of the probationary period.
I just got my driver's license not long ago, and I really regretted driving on the highway by myself that time. During the probation period of a new driver's license, you must be accompanied by an experienced driver with more than three years of driving experience when driving on the highway. Otherwise, if caught by traffic police, you won't lose points but will be fined 200 yuan. I remember the instructor said this is for the safety of us new drivers—speeds are high on the highway, and if you can't react in time, accidents can easily happen. If you actually violate the rule, they'll give you a direct warning or issue a ticket. If you have someone accompanying you, you can drive on the highway even during the probation period. Additionally, speeding on the highway will cost you 6 points or more, so don't confuse this with the other rule. After the probation period ends, you don't need to worry about penalties for driving on the highway without accompaniment. In short, following the rules isn't just about avoiding fines—it's also for the safety of yourself and others.
I've been driving long distances for many years and have seen many new drivers getting into accidents. For the first year after obtaining a new driver's license, you must have an experienced driver accompanying you on the highway, otherwise, you'll be fined 200 yuan if caught, with no points deducted. Don't think you can get away with it—traffic moves fast on highways, and inexperienced drivers are prone to rear-end collisions or lane-changing mistakes. Just the other day, I saw a guy who was caught driving alone on the highway during his probationary period. He was only fined without points deducted but still got a stern lecture. Ordinary highway violations like speeding will deduct points—6 or 12 points, for example. I recommend new drivers practice with an experienced companion for a while to get familiar with road conditions before driving alone on the highway, which is much safer.
