How to Handle Driving on the Highway with a Driver's License Less Than One Year Old?

[DiElizabeth]

Here is the relevant information about driving on the highway with a driver's license less than one year old: 1. If accompanied by an experienced driver, it is allowed to drive on the highway and no penalties will be imposed. 2. If driving alone on the highway with a license less than one year old, a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan will be imposed; the traffic management department of the public security organ will order the violating vehicle to exit the highway via the nearest lane. 3. If intercepted while attempting to enter the highway, the traffic police will educate and advise the driver to turn back. Additional information: Since new drivers are not yet fully familiar with the performance of the car, their driving skills are not yet proficient, and they lack driving experience, they naturally dare not drive too fast on the highway. However, highways have speed limits and many regulations that do not exist on national or urban roads, such as no U-turns, etc. Therefore, new drivers can easily violate traffic rules due to lack of knowledge.

I just got my driver's license less than half a year ago. Once when I was in a hurry to go to the suburbs for a friend gathering, everyone encouraged me to try driving on the highway. I impulsively hit the road, only to be stopped by traffic police at the toll station. They checked my license and found I hadn't completed the probationary period yet. I was fined 200 yuan on the spot with 3 demerit points, and had to spend half a day at the traffic management station learning safety knowledge. I really regretted not checking the regulations clearly at that time - the strict traffic rules prohibiting new drivers from driving alone on highways are meant to reduce accident risks. On highways, vehicles move fast with dense traffic flow, and new drivers' slower reactions can easily lead to rear-end collisions or loss of control. My current approach is to honestly find an accompanying driver with over three years of experience, or simply wait until the probationary period ends. I practice more on urban roads to build confidence, and avoid seeking shortcuts at critical moments - after all, safety comes first and it saves you from fines and trouble.
