What does the probationary period on a driver's license mean?
1 Answers
Having a probationary period on a newly issued driver's license means that the holder is considered a novice driver for the following 12 months. Below are additional details: 1. For newly obtained licenses for large buses, tow trucks, city buses, medium buses, and heavy trucks, within 30 days after the probationary period ends, the driver must take an exam on road traffic safety laws and regulations, safe and civilized driving, emergency handling, and other knowledge, and receive at least half an hour of case-based education on traffic accident warnings. 2. When driving a motor vehicle during the probationary period, a uniform-style probationary sign must be affixed or hung at the rear of the vehicle. 3. During the probationary period, drivers are not allowed to operate public buses, commercial passenger vehicles, or vehicles such as police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and engineering rescue vehicles that are on duty, nor are they allowed to drive vehicles carrying explosives, flammable and explosive chemicals, highly toxic or radioactive materials, or other hazardous items; the motor vehicle driven must not tow a trailer.
