We all know that there is an internship period after obtaining a driver's license. Generally, the internship period is 12 months, starting from the day the individual obtains the driver's license and ending on the day before that day in the following year. This is also for the sake of traffic safety considerations, after all, driving skills are not yet mature after obtaining a driver's license, and more restrictions need to be imposed.

Some car owners ask: If I obtained my driver's license through additional driving, is there still an internship period? Can I bring a hanging device during the A2 internship period? Darong Car Bridge has collected relevant information to provide you with a simple answer.

Whether there is an internship period for additional driving depends on whether the vehicle owner's additional driving belongs to the same type of vehicle.

Specifically, driver's licenses can be divided into two categories. One type is an automotive driver's license, which includes large buses, heavy-duty tractor trailers, urban buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, small cars, small automatic transmission vehicles, low-speed cargo vehicles, three wheeled vehicles, small automatic transmission vehicles for people with disabilities, light tractor trailers, wheeled specialized mechanical vehicles, trolleybuses, trams, etc; Another type is a motorcycle driver's license, which includes ordinary three wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two wheeled motorcycles, light motorcycles, etc.

If the owner adds a driver's license of the same type, there is no restriction on the internship period; If it is a non similar model, there will still be an internship period. For example, if the owner originally obtained a driver's license for a small car, but later obtained a driver's license for a large truck or bus after additional driving, the newly obtained driving qualification does not have an internship period; If the owner originally obtained a motorcycle driver's license and obtained a small car driving qualification after additional driving, there will still be an internship period.

In summary, for the first time applying for a driver's license for any type of driving license, there is a 12 month internship period; Class C additional driving Class A/B, Class B additional driving Class A, Class F/E additional driving Class D, with no internship period for additional driving of similar vehicles; Class A/Class B/Class C additional driving Class D/Class E/Class F, or Class D/Class E/Class F additional driving Class A/Class B/Class C, this type of non similar vehicle additional driving has an internship period.

So, if there is no internship period for additional driving of vehicles of the same type, can A2 drive on the road with a trailer during the internship period?

In fact, before the new regulations were introduced, it was indeed not allowed for A2 to wear tags during their internship period. Violation would result in a warning and a fine of 200 yuan.

Many car owners question the irrationality of this regulation, for example, after obtaining an A2 driver's license, they cannot wear it for 12 months, and after the internship period, their driving skills are almost forgotten.

On April 1, 2022, the new version of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" came into effect. According to Article 76 of the regulations, 12 months after the driver of a motor vehicle first obtains a license for driving an automobile or a motorcycle are considered as the internship period.

Combined with the fact that A2 driver's licenses can only be obtained through applying for additional driving, it means that A2 driver's licenses no longer have a 12 month internship period limit. In other words, if the owner already holds a Class B driver's license and has passed the internship period and mastered certain driving skills for freight vehicles, then after applying for an additional Class A2 driver's license, there is no longer the concept of an internship period, and they can naturally tow a trailer and drive on the road.

Although regulations allow for driving with a trailer after obtaining an A2 driver's license, trailers are different from trucks in that they are more difficult to drive and require different driving skills. Therefore, beginners should still keep safety in mind, maintain a stable speed, do not drive fast, pay attention to observation, drive cautiously, pay attention to courtesy, and maintain predictive driving. In some relatively complex road conditions, it is necessary to control the speed in advance, as driving safety is no small matter, No matter how cautious you are, it's not an exaggeration.
