Can a large vehicle driver's license not be deducted points?

Large vehicle driver's licenses cannot be deducted points. Handling methods after points are deducted from the driver's license: If a large vehicle driver's license has points deducted within the year, the holder must go to the traffic management department of the public security authority for review within thirty days after the scoring cycle ends. During the review, they must participate in no less than three hours of study on road traffic safety laws and regulations, safe and civilized driving, emergency handling, and other knowledge, as well as receive warning education on traffic accident cases. For those who do not meet the requirements: If traffic violations or accidents have not been fully processed, physical conditions do not meet the driving permit requirements, or the required personnel fail to participate in study, education, and examinations as stipulated, the review will not be passed.

Back when I drove trucks, my biggest fear was getting penalty points. It's not that commercial vehicle licenses can't receive points, but the consequences are much more severe. Accumulating 6 points means you have to attend annual review training, and getting 12 points leads directly to license downgrade - you lose your livelihood. Several freight drivers I know have suffered from this - one had to rush to the traffic police station overnight for training after getting 9 points for speeding. Driving heavy vehicles indeed requires stricter compliance with rules, unlike private cars where you can just pay fines for minor point deductions. Especially for you long-haul drivers with all those speed cameras on highways - you must keep your eyes glued to the dashboard. Going just 10% over the speed limit can instantly cost you 6 points - this is no joke. I'd recommend installing a radar detector for safety.

Last week, while conducting regulatory training for a logistics company, I emphasized this issue. The demerit point rules for large vehicle licenses (Class B and above) are much stricter than those for private cars. For example, running a red light deducts 6 points, overloading by 30% deducts 6 points, and illegal parking on highways results in an immediate 12-point deduction. The most commonly overlooked violation is fatigue driving—if the system records driving continuously for 4 hours without rest, it deducts 9 points. I recommend professional drivers always keep a copy of their license handy and constantly calculate their remaining points. Additionally, before the end of the demerit point cycle, if there are unused points, drivers can take the 'Learn and Reduce Points' exam on the traffic police app, which can eliminate up to 6 points. This trick is particularly useful.

Last year, my cousin almost lost his A2 driver's license. He drove a truck for three years without any demerit points, but was caught for overloading and penalized with 6 points. During the annual review, he was forced to attend a three-day training session and retake the theoretical exam (Subject 1). For large vehicle licenses, accumulating 12 points results in an immediate downgrade, requiring reapplication for the higher license class. Nowadays, many cities use high-definition cameras to capture drivers not wearing seat belts, and large vehicles on highways are strictly checked for this violation, which carries a 2-point penalty. A small tip: Before renewing your license, make sure to check for any outstanding traffic violations. A colleague of mine once found an unprocessed speeding ticket from two years ago on the day of renewal, and had his license confiscated on the spot.

A friend's personal experience driving long-distance buses: The demerit point threshold for large vehicle licenses is actually 12 points, but there's a warning at 6 points. His fleet's policy requires writing a self-criticism report if exceeding 3 points, and suspension for training at 6 points. Pay special attention to these critical point deductions: 3 points for failing to yield to pedestrians, 6 points for mixed passenger/cargo loading, and 9 points for tampering with GPS recorders. It's recommended to check points monthly via Traffic Management 12123 app. Their company once discovered a driver's license was fraudulently used for violations - it took 5 days of appeals to clear the record. Best to stick a note on the steering wheel reminding yourself of remaining points.

Something many people might not know: Changing lanes by crossing the line in a semi-trailer truck will also result in penalty points. The penalty point system for large vehicle licenses is quite detailed, with different standards for various vehicle types. For example, driving a tractor-trailer with incomplete lighting will cost you 1 point, while picking up passengers outside a bus stop in a bus will cost you 2 points. A secret to preserving points is that reporting others' violations can earn you extra points. Last time, I heard about a driver who was caught changing lanes over a solid line but offset 6 points by uploading three violation videos. Honestly, driving large vehicles keeps you on edge all the time—even accidentally crossing a guide line could cost you half a day's wages.
