Can points from C2 be deducted for C1?

[McAlexa]

C1 is a small car driver's license, while C2 is a small automatic transmission car driver's license. The additional permitted vehicle types for C1 include C2, C3, and C4. This means that the permitted vehicle types for C2 are lower than those for C1, so points from C2 cannot be deducted for C1. Each person only has one driver's license. If you obtain the C1 permitted vehicle type through an additional driving test, the C1 and C2 licenses will be merged into one, sharing the same 12 points, thus eliminating the concept of deducting points for another license. Below is relevant information: 1. Deducting points for others: Using someone else's driver's license to deduct points is inherently unfeasible in terms of permitted vehicle types. Additionally, deducting points for others constitutes buying and selling driver's license points, which is illegal. If caught, not only will the traded traffic violation points be revoked, but both parties will also face fines and possible detention. 2. Scoring cycle: A scoring cycle lasts 12 months, starting from the date the driver's license was obtained. For example, if the license was obtained on January 2nd, the cycle ends on January 1st of the following year. After receiving points, it is necessary to promptly address the violation and pay the fine. The points will automatically reset at the start of the next scoring cycle; otherwise, they will carry over to the next cycle.

I've experienced this before. Two years ago, my cousin who just got his C2 license helped a friend by taking penalty points, but was caught by traffic police. Not only was he fined, but his license was also suspended for three months. Whether it's C2 or C1, the penalty points on a driver's license are tied to the ID card. For example, if you upgrade to a C1 license, the original C2 license automatically becomes invalid and is replaced by the C1 license, and the points are naturally merged. It's unrealistic to use C2 points to offset C1 violations, as the system always shows your own penalty record. Traffic regulations explicitly prohibit buying or selling penalty points, and now processing violations requires facial recognition. If you really want to help relatives or friends share the burden, you must follow the proper procedure by having them sign an authorization form at the traffic management office in person.

My driving school instructor always emphasizes to us that although the types of driver's licenses are different, the penalty points are shared. For example, if you obtain a C1 driver's license, you don't need to take an additional C2 test because the C1 covers a wider range. However, traffic violation points are all recorded on your driver's license. It's unrealistic to use C2 points to pay for C1 violations, as now handling violations requires bringing the original ID card and facial recognition. Last month, a student in our class tried to use their expired and invalid C2 license to handle a violation and was directly fined 2000 yuan. Rather than going through all this trouble, it's much easier to just drive carefully and avoid violations.

Driving license points cannot be transferred. Although the permitted vehicle types for C1 and C2 licenses differ, the demerit point system is unified. For example, if you hold both licenses simultaneously, the system will only display the license with the highest permitted vehicle type. Using C2 points to offset C1 violations constitutes point trading for others, which is explicitly prohibited. Currently, handling electronic monitoring violations requires the driver to appear in person for identity verification, making it difficult to exploit loopholes. When upgrading to a C1 license, the original C2 license becomes invalid, and the demerit points are directly transferred to the new license.
