After merging C1D licenses, which time is used for scoring clearance?

[DiCameron]

If the C1D merged license is still within the probationary period, the scoring clearance will be based on the probationary period timeline. After the probationary period, it will be based on the date of initially obtaining the permitted vehicle type. Below is additional information regarding the probationary period: Definition of probationary period: According to national regulations, the probationary period for new drivers starts from the date of initially obtaining the driver's license and lasts for 12 months. During this period, new drivers must display a probationary sign on the rear of their vehicle. Penalties for violations: If a driver accumulates 12 penalty points during the probationary period, the permitted vehicle type qualification obtained during probation will be revoked. If the revoked qualification is not for the highest permitted vehicle type, the highest permitted vehicle type qualification should also be revoked as stipulated in the first paragraph of Article 68.

I've been driving for almost ten years. After upgrading from a C1 license to a C1D combined license, the reset date for penalty points has always been based on the original date when I first obtained my driver's license, not the upgrade date. For example, I got my C1 license in early June 2015, so my points reset automatically every June. The traffic management system uniformly uses the initial issuance date as the benchmark, regardless of how licenses are combined. This is particularly important because penalty points are tied to the person, not the license. If you accumulate too many violations right before the reset date and fail to clear them, it can be troublesome. I often remind my friends to check their initial license issuance date and set a reminder on their phones to handle tickets in advance, avoiding a 12-point penalty. The mechanism hasn’t changed even after combining licenses, which is great for ensuring consistency. I also found that you can check your point reset status on the app—highly recommend giving it a try.

As a seasoned driver with a C1D license, my points reset date has always been the initial license issuance day. For example, I obtained my C1 in 2010 and later added the D endorsement - the system still resets points annually on that original 2010 date. The rule is clear: there's only one initial starting point for the scoring cycle per driver. Don't worry about multiple licenses causing confusion - the system recognizes the first issuance date. From experience, combined licenses make management much easier while maintaining the same scoring logic. I've developed a habit of checking my driving record quarterly and reducing speeding in the weeks before points reset. Having learned from youthful violations that piled up points, I'm now extra cautious about safety. Sharing practical tips with fellow drivers always proves popular.

I just combined my C1 and D licenses into a C1D and was curious about the points reset time. After asking a traffic police friend, I learned it resets based on the date of the first license obtained. My initial issuance date was last March, and after merging, it still clears every March. Simply put, the system recognizes the original date, not the newly added license. As a newbie, I find this design reasonable—unified points are less confusing. Check your initial issuance date on the 12123 app and set a calendar reminder to avoid maxing out points and affecting driving. Merging licenses is convenient, but the rules stay the same.
