Yes, points can still be deducted after using the study-to-reduce-points program for a driver's license. The study-to-reduce-points feature on the 12123 platform means that after a traffic violation is processed, the driver can study through this function. Upon completing the required study hours, points on the driver's license will be deducted, with a maximum of 6 points deductible per scoring cycle. This program only reduces the points on the driver's license and does not affect its usage. The purpose of the study-to-reduce-points program: While it appears to grant additional behavioral points to the driver's license, its primary goal is to encourage drivers who have been penalized to participate in legal studies, thereby promoting legal awareness. Points to note about the study-to-reduce-points program: The points deducted after using the study-to-reduce-points program depend on how many points the driver had before participating in the program and how many points were reduced. However, the total cumulative points deducted cannot exceed 11 points. It's important to clarify that, regardless of participation in the study-to-reduce-points program, a driver's license only has 12 points. The program can only reduce existing points on the license, not increase the total points to 18. Points cleared through the program will not be counted in the cumulative points. For example, if you were penalized 9 points and reduced 6 points through the study-to-reduce-points program, then you effectively have 3 points deducted in this scoring cycle. Within the same scoring cycle, you can still be penalized up to 8 more points.
