Handling of driving on the highway with a driver's license less than one year old: 1. Introduction: Driving on the highway with a driver's license less than one year old is allowed. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," driving on the highway during the probationary period requires the accompaniment of a driver who has held a corresponding or higher-level driver's license for more than three years. In other words, new drivers cannot drive alone on the highway. 2. Penalties: Driving alone on the highway with a driver's license less than one year old will result in a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan. The traffic management department of the public security organ will order the violating vehicle to exit the highway at the nearest exit. If intercepted while preparing to enter the highway, the traffic police will educate and turn the driver back.
When I first got my driver's license, I almost made this mistake. Luckily, my friend reminded me in time. If you drive on the highway alone with less than one year of driving experience, the police will usually fine you 200 RMB and deduct 6 points from your license, because new drivers in the probationary period must be accompanied by an experienced driver for safety. My buddy got caught once—not only was he fined, but he also had to attend traffic safety classes, which was quite a hassle. If an accident occurs, like a rear-end collision, your license might even be revoked, requiring you to retake the test—way too risky. Highways have fast-moving traffic, and inexperienced drivers can easily get distracted or brake improperly, endangering themselves and others. My advice? Don’t take the risk just to save time. Wait until you’ve had your license for a year and gradually build up your skills—safety first. Don’t chase thrills or follow trends; stick to regular roads and gain experience first.
