Can a Class A License Participate in the Study-to-Reduce-Points Program?

Any driver's license can participate in the study-to-reduce-points program, with no restrictions on the type of license or the permitted vehicle categories. According to Article 5 of the "Notice on the Issuance of the 'Work Standards for Reducing Points for Road Traffic Violations Through Receiving Traffic Safety Education (Trial)'" issued by the Ministry of Public Security on January 14, 2020 (Public Traffic Management [2020] No. 14), motor vehicle drivers applying to participate in the study-to-reduce-points program must attend corresponding road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge learning, examinations, or traffic safety public welfare activities based on their highest permitted vehicle category and meet the relevant requirements to apply for point reduction. The study-to-reduce-points program is a measure for drivers holding a driver's license who have been penalized with points due to traffic violations. By participating in online traffic safety learning and passing the examination, they can have their points reduced. This program is a convenient traffic management measure uniformly deployed by the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security. Specific considerations are as follows: Eligible Participants: Motor vehicle drivers holding a driver's license from the People's Republic of China, regardless of the permitted vehicle category or whether they are commercial vehicle drivers, can participate in the study-to-reduce-points program. They must attend corresponding road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge learning and examinations based on their highest permitted vehicle category. Specific Rules: Motor vehicle drivers participating in online road traffic laws, regulations, and related content learning must study continuously for 5 minutes each time, accumulate 30 minutes of study time within 3 days, and then register for an examination within 7 days. Upon passing the examination, they can have 1 point reduced. Drivers can also attend on-site learning, with each session lasting no less than 1 hour. After completing the required study hours, they can apply for an examination. Upon passing, they can have 2 points reduced. Drivers can also participate in offline traffic safety public welfare activities, with each session lasting 1 hour, allowing for a reduction of 1 point per session. Accumulating 30 minutes of study time within 3 days (with each study session lasting no less than 5 minutes) and passing the examination can reduce 1 point at a time. The maximum point reduction within one scoring cycle is 6 points. Cases Not Accepted: The following situations will not be accepted: The driver had two or more full-point records in the previous scoring cycle. Within the 3-point cycle, the driver was involved in hit-and-run accidents, drunk driving, or the fabrication or alteration of documents or license plates. The driver's license is in the probationary period or has not been reviewed as required. The driver has unresolved traffic violation records under their name. The driver has vehicles under their name with expired safety technical inspections or vehicles not deregistered as required. The driver has already reduced the maximum of 6 points within the cycle.

As a driver with decades of experience operating large vehicles, I can confidently tell you that it's entirely feasible to reduce penalty points through legal study for a Class A license. Current traffic regulations allow drivers with penalty points to reduce them by completing safety knowledge courses, and this applies to Class A licenses for large buses and trucks as well. Last year, when I received penalty points, I simply used the Traffic Management 12123 App to watch traffic rule videos and take a short quiz—resulting in a 1-point reduction. The process was straightforward and quick, taking less than half an hour without costing a penny. However, I must remind you that driving Class A vehicles carries greater responsibility, and any issues can have widespread consequences. Therefore, studying the rules should be taken seriously—not just for point reduction. Safe driving is the foundation. Regularly reviewing safety tips and avoiding speeding or dangerous driving can save you a lot of trouble.

Hey, I'm a newbie who just got my Class A license and researching ways to reduce penalty points. The 'Study to Reduce Points' method is absolutely usable - Class A drivers can reduce demerit points by watching traffic regulation videos and taking online exams, super practical. My friends often use apps like the official 'Traffic Management 12123' - after registration, select the learning option and earn points by answering correctly. There might be some restrictions for Class A licenses but generally it works. The whole process can be done on your phone without visiting offices, saving time and effort. Remember each learning session covers various violation knowledge, serving as a refresher course especially for us young truck drivers prone to reckless driving. I tried it once and learned practical skills like night driving precautions. Don't forget to regularly check your point changes.

Safe driving is no trivial matter, and even a Class A license holder can reduce penalty points through legal study, but it must be approached with genuine commitment. Traffic regulations clearly state that drivers can mitigate demerit points by learning safety knowledge, which applies to all vehicle types, including large trucks. By completing online courses or passing app-based exams, one can not only reduce points but also reinforce safety awareness. Given the severe consequences of accidents involving Class A vehicles, studying the law is not just a means but also a preventive measure. I recommend choosing official platforms like traffic police websites to avoid being misled by third parties. The content covers regulatory updates, such as overload control, helping drivers better manage their habits after review. Remember, this is not a privilege but a responsibility.
