Can I drive commercial vehicles after completing the study with a full-score record?

You can drive commercial vehicles after completing the study with a full-score record. Below are the specific requirements for commercial vehicle driver applications: 1. Driver's license and completion certificate: Applicants must hold a motor vehicle driver's license and a non-professional driver training completion certificate. They need to fill out the "Application Form for Commercial Driver's Qualification Certificate" and submit their motor vehicle driver's license, non-professional driver training completion certificate, and ID documents. 2. Application for large buses and articulated vehicles: In addition to the above conditions, applicants for commercial large bus or articulated vehicle driver's qualification certificates must meet additional requirements. To apply for a large bus driver's qualification certificate, they must hold an A-class license for at least 2 years; to apply for an articulated vehicle driver's qualification certificate, they must hold a B-class license for at least 2 years.
I used to get a lot of demerit points when driving, and eventually accumulated a full 12 points, forcing me to take a safety course. After passing the exam, my driver's license was restored for normal use, such as personal commuting. However, driving commercial vehicles like taxis or trucks isn't just about having a license—you also need a professional qualification certificate. This certificate is strictly regulated, and a full-point record might invalidate it. I didn’t pay attention to this and took a ride-hailing order, only to be caught during an inspection because my record wasn’t cleared, resulting in a fine. I suggest checking your qualification certificate status immediately. If you need to reapply, you’ll have to go through a medical exam and review process, which takes quite some time. Safety first! If you're driving to earn money, do it properly—otherwise, any mishap could cost you big.
As someone who's been on the road for years, I believe that after completing the 12-point deduction course and passing the exam, there's no issue with getting your license reinstated for driving private vehicles. However, to operate commercial vehicles like freight trucks or ride-hailing cars, the key lies in the vocational qualification certificate—it's specifically issued by the transportation department. A full-point violation record stays in your file and might trigger a qualification review or suspension. I've seen a friend whose qualification got revoked because of this, and it took a lot of effort to sort it out. You should proactively consult your local transport management authority to see if you need to retake vocational training courses. Drive carefully, avoid sharp turns and speeding, and follow the rules to ensure both your safety and that of your passengers.
