What must drivers demonstrate before driving unsupervised on a highway according to Title 13 CCR 1229?

Drivers must demonstrate competence in each type of vehicle before driving unsupervised on a highway, as outlined in Title 13 CCR 1229. This requirement ensures that they have the necessary skills and understanding of how to operate the specific vehicle they will be driving. Each type of vehicle can have different handling characteristics, controls, and safety features, so it is essential for drivers to be adequately trained and proficient in the specific vehicles they will use.

This competence includes not only the ability to maneuver the vehicle but also the knowledge of safety protocols, emergency procedures, and operational limitations unique to that vehicle type. By having this competence, drivers can ensure not only their safety but also that of their passengers and others on the road.
