What are the penalties for driving on the highway with a license less than one year old?

If a driver operates a vehicle on the highway with a license that has been held for less than one year, they will be subject to mandatory education, required to exit the highway at the nearest exit, and fined between 20 and 200 yuan. Additionally, the vehicle information and driver's license will be recorded by the police, but no points will be deducted. However, if there is a driver with a license held for more than three years in the passenger seat providing guidance, the new driver is permitted to drive on the highway during the probationary period. Below are some precautions for driving on the highway: 1. Observe traffic rules and display a probationary sign. 2. Inspect the vehicle before entering the highway and be aware of the speed limits. The minimum speed on the highway should not be less than 60 km/h, and the maximum speed should not exceed 120 km/h. 3. Pay attention to road signs, markings, and warning signs. 4. When exiting the highway, merge into the outermost lane in advance upon seeing the 1.5 km or 1 km exit signs. 5. Maintain a safe following distance. Keeping an appropriate distance is crucial for driving safety. Many novice drivers, due to lack of experience, may misjudge distances and follow too closely, potentially leading to insufficient braking time.

Which Direction to Turn Car Tire Bolts When Changing Them?

For most passenger cars, loosening the tire bolts requires turning them counterclockwise. Below are the steps for replacing a car tire: 1. First, loosen the bolts of the damaged tire - just loosen them, no need to remove them completely at this stage; 2. Position the jack under the car, making sure it's properly aligned and not pressing against the body panels. Once the car is lifted, you can fully remove all the bolts of the tire to be replaced - remember to keep them safe; 3. As a precaution in case the jack fails suddenly, place the removed flat tire horizontally under the car; 4. Now you can install the spare tire. When tightening the bolts, first tighten all bolts to a uniform tightness, then fully tighten them in a diagonal sequence.

Is it possible to use high beams on highways?

It is necessary to use high beams when driving on highways at night. Here are the relevant details: 1. The illumination distance of a car's low beams is generally only about 40 meters. If driving at night on a highway at a speed of 100 km/h, the distance traveled per second is approximately 27 meters. This means that if low beams are used, once there is an abnormal situation ahead, the reaction time left for the driver is less than two seconds. The time required for a person to detect a target and perform an evasive maneuver is simply insufficient. High beams, on the other hand, have a much longer illumination range than low beams, reaching about 200 meters, which provides enough time to handle risks even if they occur. 2. Using high beams on highways may affect the vehicle in front, but most cars are equipped with anti-glare rearview mirrors, so the impact is generally minimal. Additionally, it is a considerate driving practice to temporarily switch to low beams when approaching a vehicle ahead.
