Can C2 deduct points from C1?
3 Answers
C2 cannot deduct points from C1. C2 is an automatic transmission vehicle driver's license, while C1 is a manual transmission vehicle driver's license. Points cannot be deducted from a C1 driver's license. Below are the relevant regulations: Article 65: 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 is initially obtained. Based on the severity of road traffic safety violations, the points for a single violation are categorized into five types: 12 points, 6 points, 3 points, 2 points, and 1 point. Article 68: If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 points within a scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security authority shall confiscate their motor vehicle driver's license.
I just got my driver's license and have done quite a bit of research on C1 and C2. Simply put, C2 cannot directly deduct points from C1 because point deductions are handled by traffic police, not something you or I can control. When you violate traffic rules, such as speeding or illegal parking, the system detects it or the police catch you on the spot, and the points are deducted from your own license, whether you're driving a manual with a C1 or an automatic with a C2. C1 and C2 are just different types of licenses and don’t affect each other. I usually make it a habit to use navigation to remind me of speed limits and avoid rushing yellow lights, which helps reduce point deductions. Remember, points are reset annually, but if you accumulate 12 points, you’ll have to retake the test, which is quite a hassle. In short, staying focused and following the rules is the safest bet when driving.
From the perspective of traffic regulations, there is no mutual point deduction between C1 and C2 driver's licenses. Points are deducted by traffic authorities and only triggered when drivers violate rules. If you hold a C1 license, violation points will be deducted from your C1 record; the same applies to C2 licenses. There is no mechanism for a C2 license to deduct points for others - this is a complete misunderstanding. Common reasons for point deduction include running red lights and drunk driving, with penalties ranging from 3 to 12 points per violation. It's advisable to regularly check violation records and study traffic rules, as safe driving is key to protecting your points. I also recommend installing a monitoring app to avoid losing driving privileges due to minor oversights.
