Can a 6-point traffic violation be handled through the study-and-reduction program?
2 Answers
Detailed information on handling 6-point violations through the study-and-reduction program is as follows: 1. Study-and-Reduction Program: In January 2020, the Ministry of Public Security issued the "Work Standards for Reducing Traffic Violation Points Through Receiving Traffic Safety Education (Trial)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Work Standards"), implementing a policy that allows motor vehicle drivers to reduce points for road traffic violations by receiving education, known as the "study-and-reduction" policy. 2. In simple terms: The "study-and-reduction" program is a measure where drivers who have been penalized with points for traffic violations can participate in online traffic safety education or public welfare activities related to traffic safety and meet certain requirements to have their points reduced. A maximum of 6 points can be reduced within one scoring cycle.
I often drive and know a bit about traffic rules. A 6-point violation can usually be handled through the 'study to reduce points' policy, which is a great initiative allowing drivers to reduce penalty points by taking traffic safety courses. Specifically, a 6-point deduction isn’t too severe—it covers violations like running a red light or speeding. If your total points haven’t exceeded 11, you can still recover. Quickly register and log in to the traffic police app or website, find the 'study to reduce points' section, select a course, typically watch a 30-minute video, and then pass a test. The process is simple and takes about an hour, but note that you can only reduce up to 6 points per year, and it can’t be reused. Once handled, your points will decrease, preventing license suspension or increased insurance costs. This method is both convenient and enhances safety awareness. I always advise new drivers not to procrastinate—address it promptly to avoid maxing out points and driving with anxiety. What you learn, like yielding to pedestrians and staying alert to road conditions, is practical and helps maintain road safety, benefiting everyone.
