Can I Deduct Another 6 Points After Deducting 10 Points Through Legal Study Reduction?
2 Answers
After deducting 10 points and reducing 6 points through legal study reduction, you can continue to deduct another 6 points. However, you cannot perform legal study reduction again within the same scoring cycle. There are three ways to reduce points through legal study: 1) Participate in online learning (accumulate 30 minutes within 3 days) and pass the exam to reduce 1 point at a time. 2) Participate in on-site learning (no less than 1 hour each time) and pass the exam to reduce 2 points at a time. 3) Participate in traffic safety public welfare activities (1 hour each time) to reduce 1 point at a time. There is no limit to the number of times you can participate in "legal study reduction." However, after a motor vehicle driver has reduced a total of 6 points within a scoring cycle, they can no longer participate in "legal study reduction." There are 7 situations where you cannot apply for "legal study reduction": 1. Within the current scoring cycle, the motor vehicle driver has two or more full-score records or has accumulated 12 points. 2. In the previous scoring cycle, the motor vehicle driver had two or more full-score records. 3. Within the last three scoring cycles, the motor vehicle driver was penalized for hit-and-run accidents, drunk driving, using forged or altered vehicle license plates, driving licenses, school bus signs, or other vehicle license plates, or buying/selling points. 4. The motor vehicle driver's license is in the probation period, overdue for inspection, or suspended. 5. The motor vehicle driver has unresolved traffic violation records. 6. The motor vehicle driver owns a vehicle with expired safety technical inspection or has not deregistered as required. 7. The motor vehicle driver engaged in fraudulent behavior or impersonation while participating in traffic safety education to reduce points or during full-score education and inspection exams.
Let me talk about the points deduction on the driver's license. If you've already had 10 points deducted and then you reduce 6 points through traffic law study, you'll have 4 points left. At this point, if you get another 6 points deducted, your total will reach 10 points, which still doesn't exceed the 12-point threshold, so theoretically it's possible. The point reduction system allows you to reduce 1 to 6 points by studying traffic laws, with a maximum of 6 points per year. However, you're only safe if your total points remain within 6 after the reduction. Remember, exceeding 12 points means you'll have to retake the test, which is a hassle, and you might even face a temporary driving suspension. I advise you not to keep violating traffic rules after reducing points—drive slower and prioritize safety. You need to calculate your points accurately, keep track of how many you've reduced, and avoid reckless behavior. In short, it's theoretically possible, but in practice, you need to consider how many points you'll have left after deductions—don't take unnecessary risks.
