Can I Still Deduct 6 Points After Reducing Points Through Legal Study?
2 Answers
If the remaining points after the driver has reduced points through legal study exceed 6, they can still deduct 6 points during the remaining scoring period; if the remaining points are below 6, the driver's license will be temporarily suspended. According to the rules of point reduction through legal study, drivers can accumulate a maximum reduction of 6 points in the current scoring cycle. After reducing 6 points, they must wait until the next scoring cycle to reapply. The platform's rules state that if a driver has two or more full-score records in the current or previous scoring cycle, or has accumulated a deduction of 12 points, they cannot apply for point reduction through legal study. If a driver deducts another 6 points after reducing 6 points through legal study, they cannot apply for point reduction through legal study in the next scoring cycle. "Point reduction through legal study" is a measure for licensed drivers who have been penalized for traffic violations. By participating in online traffic safety learning and passing the exam, they can have their points reduced. This is a convenient measure deployed by the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security. After a driver submits an application for legal study, the system will complete the review within 24 hours. Once approved, the applicant can start learning. After accumulating 30 minutes of study within 3 days, they can apply for the exam. Passing the exam completes one instance of point reduction through legal study. Note that the exam must be applied for within 7 days after completing the study.
I've been driving for many years and have seen many cases of drivers getting penalty points. After deducting 6 points, participating in traffic law education can reset your points. For example, after completing the course, your points may drop from 6 to a lower number, effectively clearing your license's 12-point limit, allowing you to incur another 6 points or more. However, be cautious as repeatedly accumulating points is risky. Once you reach 12 points, you'll have to suspend driving and take a test, which costs both time and money. I've also used the point reduction program myself—online courses are straightforward, but don't rely on them too much. The best approach is to follow speed limits and avoid running red lights while driving. Safety is more important than anything. Developing good habits can save you trouble—stay observant and avoid reckless driving, as accidents often stem from minor oversights.
