Can points still be deducted after using the study-to-reduce-points program for a driver's license?

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.

As a young driver who loves speeding, I thought everything was fine after completing the 'Study to Reduce Points' program, but within two weeks, I got 3 points deducted for crossing the line. To put it bluntly, the 'Study to Reduce Points' just wipes away some of your past demerits, but new violations still count. Back then, I was too reckless—just happy about the point reduction and forgot that traffic rules don’t change—speeding, running red lights, these still add up. The maximum deduction is only 12 points, and if you exceed that, your license is gone. Nobody wants that, right? Now I’ve made it a habit to watch traffic-related short videos every month to learn, which not only helps prevent point deductions but also improves safety. Driving isn’t a game; 'Study to Reduce Points' is just the icing on the cake—driving responsibly is the real way to go!

Having driven for half my life, I've seen many people become complacent after reducing points through learning, only to get penalized again. This system is essentially a benefit, allowing you to clear your record by studying, but new violations will still be recorded. Don’t think that reducing points means you’re in the clear—speeding or drunk driving can send your points soaring in an instant. I advise beginners to develop good habits from day one: drive within speed limits, obey traffic signals, and avoid using your phone. The penalty point system isn’t just for show—accumulating too many can lead to license suspension, a consequence no one can afford. The point reduction system is meant to help people reform, but if you take chances, the safety risks only grow.

I just got my driver's license six months ago, and I'm still nervous even after point deduction. A friend of mine had points deducted again for speeding after learning the law to reduce points, only to realize that point reduction only applies to old points, and new violations are still counted. This system encourages learning to reduce accumulated points but doesn't protect you from new deductions. I always remind myself to stay focused while driving and fasten my seatbelt, as forgetting could lead to more points. Points accumulate easily; although learning the law to reduce points can help in emergencies, prevention is the most important.

Driving to work every day, I'm well aware that points can still be deducted even after point reduction through traffic law learning. Last time after my points were reduced, I got 1 point deducted for failing to yield when turning right. The system only helps eliminate existing records - new violations are still penalized as usual. Driving requires meticulous attention to details: don't cross lines, watch the speedometer, and avoid reckless lane changes. Studying traffic laws once a week can reduce a few points, but getting penalized for violations with tickets arriving is truly frustrating. The rules haven't changed - safe driving is the fundamental principle. Don't always rely on point reduction as a safety net.
