Drivers operating motor vehicles during the probationary period must display a probationary driver sign; otherwise, they will be fined between 20 and 200 yuan. According to Article 64, Paragraph 3 of "Order No. 123": Drivers in the probationary period must affix or hang a standardized probationary driver sign at the rear of the vehicle. Further details are as follows: 1. If a probationary driver fails to affix or hang the standardized sign at the rear of the vehicle, or if the sign cannot be properly recognized, or if the sign does not meet requirements (such as signs like "New Driver" or self-printed signs), it will be considered as not displaying the sign, resulting in a 200 yuan fine. 2. "New drivers" who obtained their initial license or added a new vehicle class after early 2012 and have not yet completed 12 months should promptly collect a free "probationary driver sign" from the traffic police department and affix or hang it as required. Starting today, "new drivers" can collect the probationary driver sign at traffic violation processing windows or vehicle management offices (branches) of local traffic police departments by presenting their driver's license.
