How long does someone have to drive before they’re no longer considered a new driver?

1. What country are you driving in?

2. A month.

3. I don’t think there’s like, a legal definition but I’d say at least a full 4 seasons if you live somewhere with a variable climate.

   Insurance companies would probably say 16-18 year-old drivers.

4. Oh the Netherlands we say: after 100.000 kilometers driven, you’re finally experienced.

5. Depending on how often you drive I’d say 1 year +

   When you’re fully confident driving with your dad in the car then you’ve made it.

6. Prob 3-4 years imo

7. In Australia you need 120 hours of driving experience to get your P plates where you can then drive alone (with a few restrictions) your P plates last a few years. So I guess it takes about 4 years, but new I would classify as like still L plates and maybe the first few weeks of P plates.

8. Normally after your first big accident.
