How Many Years of Experience Do Beginners Need to Drive on Highways?
1 Answers
Beginners can drive on highways as soon as they obtain their driver's license, but they must be accompanied by an experienced driver with at least three years of driving experience. Without such accompaniment, they must wait until they have held their license for at least one year. The first 12 months after obtaining a driver's license is considered the probationary period. During this period, drivers must display a standardized probationary sign on the rear of their vehicle. The restrictions for probationary drivers are as follows: 1. During the probationary period, drivers are not allowed to operate buses, passenger transport vehicles, police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, engineering rescue vehicles, or vehicles carrying explosives, flammable and explosive chemicals, highly toxic substances, radioactive materials, or other hazardous materials. Additionally, they are not permitted to tow trailers. 2. When driving on highways during the probationary period, the driver must be accompanied by someone who has held a driver's license for the same or a higher vehicle class for at least three years. For drivers of small automatic transmission vehicles designed for disabled individuals, the accompanying driver must hold a license for small automatic transmission passenger vehicles or higher. 3. During the probationary period after obtaining an additional vehicle class license, driving a vehicle of the original license class is not subject to the above restrictions.
