Can A2 Driving License Use Study Method to Deduct Points?

[StArabella]

Any driving license can use the study method to deduct points, with no restrictions on the type of driving license or the vehicle class permitted. According to Article 5 of the "Notice on the Issuance of the 'Regulations on the Reduction of Road Traffic Violation Points through Accepting Traffic Safety Education (Trial)'" issued by the Ministry of Public Security on January 14, 2020 (Public Traffic Management [2020] No. 14), motor vehicle drivers who apply to participate in traffic safety education to reduce traffic violation points must participate in corresponding road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge learning, examinations, or traffic safety public welfare activities according to their highest permitted vehicle class and meet the relevant requirements to apply for the reduction of traffic violation points. The study method to deduct points is a measure for drivers holding a driving license who have been penalized with points due to traffic violations. After participating in online traffic safety learning and passing the exam, their points can be reduced. This is a convenient traffic management measure uniformly deployed by the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security. Specific precautions are as follows: Applicable groups: Motor vehicle drivers who hold a driving license of the People's Republic of China, regardless of the vehicle class permitted by the driving license or whether they are drivers of commercial vehicles, can participate in the study method to deduct points and must participate in corresponding road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge learning and examinations according to their highest permitted vehicle class. 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 the exam within 7 days. Passing the exam can reduce 1 point. 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 the exam, and passing the exam can reduce 2 points. Drivers can also participate in offline traffic safety public welfare activities. Participating for one hour can reduce 1 point each time. Cases not accepted: The following situations will not be accepted: In the previous scoring cycle, the driver had two or more full-point records. Within three scoring cycles, the driver was involved in hit-and-run accidents, drunk driving, or the manufacture or alteration of documents or license plates. The motor vehicle driving license is in the probation period or has not been reviewed upon expiration. The driver has unresolved traffic violation records under their name. The driver has motor vehicles under their name with expired safety technical inspections or not deregistered as required. The driver has already reduced the maximum of 6 points in the current cycle.

I've been driving Class A2 buses for nearly a decade and personally experienced using study-based point reduction for traffic violations. After getting points deducted for speeding that time, I completed the safety course on the Traffic Management 12123 App and had points reduced upon passing the exam. This method fully applies to A2 licenses as the policy covers all drivers holding valid licenses - just register and study on the platform. Note it only works for minor violations like speeding under 20%, not serious offenses like drunk driving. I've used it multiple times since, with a maximum 6-point reduction. The course content proved practical, covering fog driving techniques and blind spot alerts for large vehicles, helping me drive more cautiously on highways. I recommend starting early rather than waiting until points accumulate, and checking App policy updates regularly is good practice.
