After merging C1D licenses, which time is used for clearing points?
2 Answers
If the C1D license merger occurs during the probationary period, the points clearing time follows the probationary period schedule. After the probationary period, the points clearing time is based on the initial issuance date of the permitted vehicle types. Below is additional information about the probationary period: 1. Definition of probationary period: According to national regulations, the probationary period for new drivers starts from the day they first obtain their driver's license and lasts for 12 months. During this period, new drivers must display a probationary sign on the rear of their vehicle. 2. Penalties for violations: If a driver accumulates 12 penalty points during the probationary period, their driving qualification for the permitted vehicle types during probation will be revoked. If the revoked qualification is not for the highest permitted vehicle type, the driver's highest permitted vehicle type qualification will also be revoked as stipulated in Article 68, Paragraph 1.
I've held a combined C1D driver's license for over five years, and the points reset date is calculated based on the initial issuance date. For example, if you got your license on July 10th last year, your points will reset to zero on this date every year. When I merged my licenses, I asked the driving school, and they said the system tracks the original date—adding a D-class doesn't change it. Last year, I ran a red light and got three points deducted, but when I checked the app on July 10th, the points were indeed gone. Don't make assumptions—many beginners think the date resets after the test, but that's completely wrong. Just check via the traffic police app 12123, and it's crystal clear. Safe driving is paramount. Keep an eye on your points a month in advance to avoid exceeding 12 points and getting suspended. Following traffic rules daily saves a lot of trouble. With over 20 years of driving experience, I know even small things can lead to big consequences.
