1 Answers
The requirements for new drivers on highways are that they must be accompanied by a driver who has held a driver's license for more than three years or has a higher-class license. The probationary period for first-time applicants and those who have upgraded their driver's license is twelve months, during which they cannot drive on highways alone. When driving on highways, the speed must be below 120 km/h, and drivers must also reduce their speed according to the specific speed limits of the highway section. Lane changes should not be made arbitrarily, and under normal circumstances, temporary lanes and emergency lanes should not be occupied. Drivers are prohibited from driving while fatigued, and it is advisable to have a companion in the car to chat with, which can help alleviate fatigue during the drive. Penalties for driving alone on highways during the probationary period: Driving alone on highways during the probationary period will result in a fine. According to Article 64, Paragraph 1 of "Order No. 123," the probationary period for first-time applicants and those who have upgraded their driver's license is 12 months (i.e., 12 months from the "initial license date" on the driver's license). If the probationary period is extended, it will be 24 months from the "initial license date." Penalties for accumulating points during the probationary period: Accumulating 12 points during the probationary period will result in the revocation of the driver's license. According to Article 69 of "Order No. 123," if a driver accumulates 12 points during the probationary period, the driving qualification for the probationary license class will be revoked. If the revoked driving qualification is not for the highest license class, the highest license class will also be revoked. Penalties for not displaying the probationary sign: Failing to display the "probationary sign" will result in a fine. According to Article 64, Paragraph 3 of "Order No. 123," drivers in the probationary period must display a standardized probationary sign on the rear of the vehicle. If a probationary driver does not display the standardized sign on the rear of the vehicle, or if the sign cannot be properly recognized, or if the sign does not meet the requirements (such as signs like "new driver," self-printed signs, etc.), it will be considered as not displaying the sign and will be subject to a fine.
