What is the appropriate speed for a novice driver on the highway for the first time?

According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law Implementation Regulations," the minimum speed on the highway must not be less than 60 kilometers per hour, and the maximum speed must not exceed 120 kilometers per hour. Novice drivers can drive a bit slower on the highway, such as 80 kilometers per hour, but they must not occupy the overtaking lane. Below are some precautions for novice drivers on the highway: 1. Conduct a vehicle inspection in advance, focusing on fuel, oil, tire pressure, lights, etc., and plan the route. It is best to have an experienced driver with at least 3 years of driving experience accompany you. 2. Unlike regular roads, highways have speed limits. The minimum speed must not be less than 60 kilometers per hour, and the maximum speed must not exceed 120 kilometers per hour. Therefore, as a novice driver, it is acceptable to drive at a lower speed, but do not go below the minimum limit. According to traffic regulations, driving below the minimum speed limit on the highway will result in a 3-point penalty. 3. Follow road signs and drive in the appropriate lane. If you need to overtake, always signal in advance, check the rearview mirror, and then move into the overtaking lane. After overtaking, follow the same steps: signal in advance, check the rearview mirror, and return to the driving lane. 4. Due to the high speed on the highway, road signs can pass by very quickly. Therefore, pay close attention to signs or navigation. If you miss an exit, do not panic or attempt to brake suddenly or make a U-turn. Instead, maintain your speed and continue driving to the next exit to return to your original route. 5. If you feel drowsy, make sure to rest at a service area. Never drive while fatigued, as the consequences can be severe. 6. Maintain a safe following distance. Novice drivers, due to their lack of experience, may misjudge situations. Therefore, control your speed and keep a greater distance from the vehicle in front of you.
