Are points deducted from the driver's license or the vehicle license?
2 Answers
Points are not deducted from the vehicle license; all deductions are applied to the driver's license. Below is relevant information about the driver's license: Definition of Driver's License: The full name of the driver's license is the Motor Vehicle Driver's License, also known as a 'driving license.' It is the certificate required by law for individuals to drive motor vehicles. Driver's License Downgrade: For drivers with Class A or Class B licenses, if they accumulate 12 penalty points within one scoring cycle, their license will be automatically downgraded. A Class B license will be downgraded to Class C, and a Class A license will be downgraded to Class B. Definition of Subject One Exam: Subject One, also known as the theoretical exam or driver's theory test, is part of the assessment for obtaining a motor vehicle driver's license.
Points are definitely deducted from the driver's license, not the vehicle license. As an experienced driver with over 20 years behind the wheel, I'm very clear about this. The driver's license is your personal qualification to drive - every time you're caught violating traffic rules by cameras or traffic police, points are recorded on it. Each cycle has 12 points, and if you max them out, you'll have to take remedial classes and tests. The vehicle license is just the ID document for your car, used for insurance, transfers, annual inspections, etc., and has absolutely nothing to do with point deductions. I've seen many people confuse these concepts, thinking traffic violations deduct points from the vehicle license - that's completely wrong. Safety comes first when driving, and point deductions exist to encourage driver discipline. If too many points are deducted, your driver's license may be suspended or revoked, which has serious consequences. I recommend everyone regularly check their points on the 12123 App and maintain their driving privileges properly to stay safe on the road.
