Will Experienced Drivers Be Penalized for Displaying Novice Stickers?

Experienced drivers displaying novice stickers will not be penalized. Below are some important driving precautions: 1. Prevent fatigue driving: Fatigue reduces a driver's judgment, slows reaction time, and increases operational errors, leading to delayed or incorrect gear shifts. In severe cases, it may cause momentary sleep, resulting in loss of vehicle control. Therefore, drivers should exit the road promptly when feeling fatigued, rest in a safe area, and resume driving only after recovering. 2. Never drive under the influence: Alcohol increases blood alcohol concentration, impairing the central nervous system, reducing rationality and self-control, diminishing vision, narrowing the field of view, and decreasing focus and balance. This leads to delayed reactions when operating brakes, accelerators, or clutch pedals. According to laws and regulations, driving under the influence is strictly prohibited. 3. Dangers of speeding: Speeding causes mental stress, consumes significant physical and psychological energy, reduces vision, narrows the field of view, and weakens judgment, directly affecting driving stability. In emergencies, drivers often react inadequately, increasing the risk of collisions or rollovers.

Last time, my relative's child secretly drove on the highway right after getting their driver's license and got caught. Now, for probationary drivers driving alone on the highway, the penalty is a deduction of 1 point and a fine of 200 yuan. This regulation is clearly stated in the traffic laws. The key point is that the 'accompaniment' requirement is very strict—it must be an experienced driver with a corresponding or higher-level license for more than three years sitting in the passenger seat. It's not just about having someone who can drive. I think it's best for beginners not to take the risk; in case of an accident, insurance might even refuse to pay. If you really need to drive long distances, arrange for a genuinely experienced friend to accompany you, and you can also learn some practical skills along the way.

I have deep feelings about the requirement of having an experienced driver accompany you on the highway during the probationary period. Last year, when I was helping my cousin practice driving, the traffic police specifically checked both of our documents at the toll booth. They only let us pass after confirming that my driver's license had been valid for over five years. If a novice driver is caught driving alone on the highway, it's a surefire way to get points deducted and fined. But many people don't realize that being an accompanying driver also has its specifics: first, the accompanying driver's license must not be in the probationary period, and second, they must sit in the front passenger seat to provide guidance at all times. Actually, taking half a day on the weekend to accompany a novice driver on a short highway trip is quite worthwhile—it not only helps them avoid breaking the law but also allows you to teach them some emergency skills, which is much more cost-effective than dealing with the aftermath of an accident.

The rules for novice drivers during the probationary period on highways are clear: driving alone is illegal. According to the latest Road Traffic Safety Law, drivers in this situation will be penalized with 1 demerit point and a 200 RMB fine. The so-called 'accompanied by an experienced driver' doesn't simply mean carpooling—it must meet three conditions: holding the same or higher-level driver's license, having over three years of driving experience, and providing guidance from the front passenger seat throughout the journey. It's recommended that novice drivers first adapt to higher speeds on urban expressways. If highway driving is necessary, bring a qualified friend. After all, new drivers are prone to nervousness, and having someone in the passenger seat to offer reminders makes for safer driving.
