How Many Points Will Be Deducted for Novice Drivers on the Highway?
2 Answers
Novice drivers will not be penalized with points for driving on the highway, but they may face fines. Here is the relevant information: Conditions for Driving on the Highway: If a driver operates a motor vehicle on the highway during their probationary period, they must be accompanied by a driver who holds a driver's license for the same or a higher vehicle category and has at least three years of driving experience. Conditions for the Accompanying Driver: The accompanying driver should sit in the front passenger seat and provide guidance to the novice driver. Safety Considerations: Since novice drivers have just obtained their driver's licenses and may not have mastered certain driving skills, they might not react promptly in emergency situations, which could compromise driving safety. Skills for Novice Drivers: Novice drivers need to acquire certain skills and emergency handling methods while driving. They should never drive on the highway alone without an accompanying driver.
I have extensive driving experience and know that it's a big no-no for novice drivers to hit the highway right after getting their license. According to traffic laws, drivers within their one-year probation period cannot drive alone on highways, otherwise they usually face a 6-point deduction and a 200-yuan fine. I've seen many novices lose control of the steering wheel due to nervousness on highways - when speed increases, the car swerves dangerously with potentially severe consequences. Even if you're lucky enough not to get caught once, losing all your points means starting the license process from scratch, wasting both time and effort. My advice is for beginners to practice on city roads first, only attempting highways after gaining proficiency, ideally accompanied by an experienced driver. Remember, safety always comes first - don't risk hurting yourself or others just to save trouble. Point deductions are warnings; real accidents bring irreversible regrets.
