What to Pay Attention to When Driving on the Highway During the Probationary Period?
2 Answers
When driving on the highway during the probationary period, it is necessary to have an experienced driver accompany you and display a probationary sign. The specific details are as follows: Need for an experienced driver to accompany: When driving on the highway during the probationary period, an experienced driver must accompany you. The experienced driver must hold a driver's license for the same or a higher vehicle category for more than 3 years. The accompanying driver should sit in the front passenger seat to guide the probationary driver. If there is no accompanying driver or the accompanying driver does not meet the requirements, a fine will be imposed. Display a probationary sign: When driving a motor vehicle during the probationary period, a standardized probationary sign must be affixed or hung at the rear of the vehicle. Failure to display the probationary sign when driving on the highway during the probationary period will result in a fine.
Before my first time driving on the highway during my internship, I made thorough preparations. First, I had to comply with regulations - new drivers can't drive alone on highways, so I found a friend with over three years of driving experience to accompany me to avoid traffic violations and fines. While driving, I strictly controlled my speed, not exceeding 120 km/h, and maintained a three-second distance from the car ahead, which made me feel much safer. Before entering the highway, I checked the vehicle - tire pressure and brake fluid are essential. During the journey, I took breaks every two hours to stretch my legs and drink water to prevent fatigue. Don't forget to turn on navigation - with so many highway exits, it's easy to get lost. In rainy or windy conditions, I reduced speed to under 100 km/h as braking becomes riskier due to skidding. When stopping, I looked for service areas or emergency lanes - pulling over randomly is too dangerous. Handling these details well helps make a smooth transition to becoming an experienced driver.
