greenhorn driver
amerykanizm ale występuje dość często - uprzedzam komentarze, że 'świeżo upieczony' to nie to samo co 'niedoświadczony'; jeśli kontekst jest odpowiedni, można chyba to zastosować

The state of Maine recognizes the need for driver's education for greenhorn drivers. Many of these teenage drivers lack the knowledge and responsibility ...

: "grenhorn" to raczej XIX wieczne słowo, piszesz że występuje dość często, jednak "search results" tego nie potwierdzają // zależy jak szukasz; "greenhorn driver" nie tak często - http://tinyurl.com/nzhxlz

inexperienced driver
niedoświadczony kierowca, not necessarily "świeżo upieczony", but you're asking for alternatives

the reasons I decided to join the crowded pool is that you mentioned "American reader," and this is such an American commonplace
