a newly passed driver

I would say 'newly licenced driver'.

In the UK they would be a driver on probation, or a probationary driver.

This last two years and probationers are subject to more stringent controls. When caught committing a traffic offence the usual punishment is points on the licence. Most drivers can accumulate twelve points before their licence is revoked, with probationers it is only six.

You have a tendency to overcomplicate things and this here is another case. Try simplifying your English sentences.

Something like:
I am a new driver.
I am a beginner driver.
I got my driving license recently.

Elaine said, "I just got my driver's licence."



In a blur, crowds ran frantically in every direction; the only lonely cry a woo hoo.
