Why can't a new driver's license be used for the first three days?
2 Answers
A new driver's license can be used during the first three days. There is no such regulation. After successfully passing the fourth subject of the motor vehicle driver's license examination, qualified candidates can receive their motor vehicle driver's license and start driving immediately. There are no legal provisions prohibiting the use of the driver's license within the first three days of issuance. Legal regulations for novice drivers: The first 12 months after a motor vehicle driver initially obtains a driver's license is the probationary period. During this probationary period, when driving a motor vehicle, the driver must affix or hang a uniform-style probationary sign at the rear of the vehicle. Precautions during the probationary period: During the probationary period, motor vehicle drivers are not allowed to drive buses, passenger vehicles for hire, or emergency vehicles such as police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and engineering rescue vehicles, nor are they permitted to drive vehicles carrying explosives, flammable and explosive chemicals, highly toxic or radioactive materials, or other hazardous substances. Additionally, they are prohibited from towing trailers with the motor vehicle they are driving.
When I first got my new driver's license, I was so excited, but the driving school instructor reminded me not to rush onto the road—I couldn't drive for the first three days. The reason was that the backend needed to process some data, such as entering my exam records into the system to ensure the information was accurate. This period was designed to help me calm down and get used to the feeling of driving. The instructor suggested I find an empty lot to practice a few times, familiarize myself with braking and steering, and avoid panicking in sudden situations. Looking back, the first time I disobeyed and wanted to test drive, I almost had a minor accident. This buffer period actually protects beginners, reducing risks on the road. Now I understand—it gave me the chance to adjust my mindset and learn defensive driving skills.
