Is a probationary sign required during the probationary period?
2 Answers
Probationary signs are required during the probationary period. Here is an introduction to the relevant knowledge about probationary signs: 1. Legal Basis: According to Article 64, Paragraph 3 of "Decree No. 123": When driving a motor vehicle during the probationary period, a uniform probationary sign must be affixed or hung at the rear of the vehicle. Traffic police remind that probationary drivers who fail to affix or hang the uniform sign at the rear of the vehicle; whose signs cannot be normally recognized; or whose signs do not meet the requirements (such as "New Driver" or self-printed signs) will be considered as not having displayed the sign. 2. Penalty: According to relevant regulations, probationary drivers who do not hang the probationary sign as required will not be penalized with demerit points if caught by traffic police for the first time, but may face corresponding fines.
Hanging a probationary driver sign during the internship period is explicitly required by regulations, and no one should neglect it. Many of my friends who just got their driver's licenses have suffered losses because they forgot to display the sign and were stopped by traffic police with a 200-yuan fine. More importantly, displaying the probationary sign allows other drivers to immediately recognize you as a novice, prompting them to automatically keep their distance, reducing the risk of rear-end collisions or being cut off. Remember to buy the standard yellow one and place it in a visible spot on the rear windshield without obstructing your view. The probationary driving period typically lasts one year, and it's fine to remove the sign after completing it. Once you develop the habit, you'll feel less nervous driving on the road, and mistakes during the novice period will be more tolerated. Don't feel embarrassed—this is a smart practice to protect both yourself and others.
