Precautions for driving with a newly obtained driver's license: 1. Make sure to understand the permitted vehicle types for your driver's license. You cannot drive motor vehicles that do not match the permitted types, otherwise you will be deducted 12 points at once and your license will be revoked; 2. During the probation period, you must affix a probation sign at the rear of the vehicle as required; 3. During the probation period, you can still receive normal penalty points. If your vehicle violates traffic rules, you can use your probationary license to deduct points, and this will not extend the probation period. However, it is important to note that if you accumulate 12 points, your license will be directly revoked; 4. During the probation period, you cannot drive alone on the highway. If you want to drive on the highway, you must be accompanied by an experienced driver who has held a license for more than three years.
When you first get your driver's license, I suggest not rushing onto busy roads immediately. Find a quiet place to practice, like a nearby parking lot or residential area roads. Start with basic maneuvers like starting and stopping to get familiar with clutch and throttle coordination to avoid stalling embarrassments. Safety first! Before driving, check tire pressure, brake fluid level, and lights. Always fasten your seatbelt. Stay calm - new driver anxiety is normal, just take a deep breath. Distance management is crucial - maintain at least two car lengths from the vehicle ahead for emergency reaction time. When first driving urban roads, avoid rush hours until you gain confidence. Drive slower in rain as wet roads increase braking distance; use high beams appropriately at night. Bring an experienced friend for real-time guidance to prevent mishaps. Progress gradually over 2-3 weeks - don't attempt long trips prematurely, safe experience accumulation is most important.
