Yes, a driver's license can be deducted 11 points, which is the maximum number of points that can be deducted from a driver's license. Regulations on the use of driver's licenses: According to Article 68 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses,' when a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 points within a scoring period, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall detain their motor vehicle driver's license. The motor vehicle driver must, within 15 days, attend a seven-day study session on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge at the traffic management department of the public security organ where the driver's license was issued or where the violation occurred. Regulations on driver's license point deductions: Article 65 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses' states that the cumulative scoring cycle (i.e., the scoring cycle) for road traffic safety violations is 12 months, with a full score of 12 points, calculated from the date the motor vehicle driver's license was first issued. Based on the severity of road traffic safety violations, the points for a single violation are divided into five types: 12 points, 6 points, 3 points, 2 points, and 1 point.
I've been driving for over a decade and know quite well about driver's license point deductions. In China, the driver's license follows a 12-point system, where a single traffic violation won't directly deduct 11 points; common point deductions include 6 points for running a red light, 2 points for not wearing a seatbelt, and 12 points for drunk driving. However, points can accumulate to 11, meaning you've made multiple mistakes but haven't yet reached the critical 12-point threshold. When you accumulate 11 points, the system will issue an early warning that if you lose one more point, you'll need to attend a refresher course or take a test, or risk having your license suspended. For safe driving, it's advisable to regularly check your points using the Traffic Management 12123 app and avoid violations like speeding or using your phone while driving, as these minor infractions add up quickly. In summary, accumulating 11 points is possible, but it's not from a single deduction. Following the rules keeps worries at bay, and don't forget regular vehicle inspections.
