Precautions for first-time C1 driver's license holders are as follows: 1. Observe traffic regulations, avoid excessive speed, and minimize traffic violations to reduce fines and penalty points. 2. Do not drive on highways alone; a seasoned driver must accompany you. 3. A uniform-style probationary driver sign must be affixed or hung at the rear of the vehicle. 4. For a C-class license, a maximum of 11 points can be deducted; exceeding 12 points will result in the cancellation of driving privileges. For AB-class licenses, a maximum of 5 points can be deducted; exceeding 6 points extends the probationary period by one year, and exceeding 12 points cancels the probationary driving privileges for the permitted vehicle type. Relevant law: If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 penalty points for road traffic safety violations during the probationary period, the driving privileges for the probationary vehicle type will be canceled. If the canceled driving privileges are not for the highest permitted vehicle type, the driving privileges for the highest permitted vehicle type must also be canceled in accordance with the provisions of Article 78, Paragraph 1.

When I first got my C1 driver's license, what I cared about most was avoiding driving at night or on highways recklessly. The rules for new drivers state that during the first year of the probationary period, driving on highways requires an experienced driver with at least three years of driving experience accompanying you; otherwise, it's easy to get into trouble. During the day, I practiced parking and turning around the neighborhood, getting into the habit of checking the rearview mirrors. At night, I avoided peak traffic areas to minimize distractions like listening to music or looking at my . Although airbags are small, wearing a seatbelt is fundamental. On unfamiliar roads, I always turned on the navigation to avoid getting lost or taking the wrong lane. My driving instructor emphasized avoiding sudden braking or hard acceleration to prevent skidding. Regularly checking the car's fluids and tire pressure is a must—if the tires are low, inflate them promptly. Remember not to misplace your driver's license, as getting a replacement is a hassle. On weekends, I occasionally took friends out for trips, always choosing good weather to ensure clear visibility.

After getting my C1 license, I made quite a few mistakes. Looking back now, I must remind you never to drink and drive; even the slightest excess of blood alcohol content is illegal, with penalties ranging from point deductions to license revocation. As a novice, stick to the speed limits—don’t exceed 50 km/h on city roads, and keep it under 100 km/h on highways during the probationary period, or the risks are high. Remember to display the probationary sticker on your car and don’t lazily remove it, or you might get pulled over by traffic police for a lecture. Keep your car keys and documents in a fixed spot and check them before heading out. I suggest avoiding extreme manual transmission maneuvers early on—releasing the clutch too quickly can stall the engine. Practice reversing in open areas often to get used to blind spots in the mirrors. Before each drive, check if the lights are working, and signal well in advance when turning.

Don't be too nervous mentally, treat it like daily commuting; I often had shaky hands at first, but gradually got used to the feel of the car. Practice maintaining a safe following distance, usually a gap of two to three seconds; check blind spots before changing lanes. Use fog lights in rainy or foggy conditions, and drive steadily at reduced speeds. Avoid complex highways too early as a beginner, start with flat roads, and take frequent breaks to prevent fatigue.

Internship rules must be strictly followed, with the internship sticker placed on the rear window, and speed limits must not be exceeded; I always check the dashboard while driving to ensure I don't overspeed. Don't forget to carry your documents with you, and go for the annual inspection when it's due; on city roads, pay extra attention to pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles. Choose parking spots to avoid painful fines for illegal parking; check tire conditions before driving every day. In case of an emergency, turn on the hazard lights first, then call the police and clearly state your location; regularly review the traffic rule book to learn about new changes and avoid violations.

After obtaining my C1 license, I often think about keeping my family safe; I check the car's condition before taking my parents out and avoid overloading with passengers. During the probationary period, I avoid distractions while driving, use for calls, and minimize glancing at the navigation. I practice reversing skills in suburban areas to avoid sharp turns that could lead to rollovers. On rainy days, I slow down due to slippery roads, and in foggy weather, I carry spare glasses. Occasionally attending traffic rule lectures is essential for updating knowledge. I keep the 'new driver' sticker on as a warning to others. Before every trip, I check the brake responsiveness and maintain good habits.
