Do I need to retake the driving course if my license is deducted 6 points?
1 Answers
Whether you need to retake the course depends on whether your driving license has accumulated a full 12 points within one scoring cycle, meaning whether you had already accumulated 6 points before this deduction within the same cycle. For a Class C license, a 6-point deduction does not require retaking the course—once the fine is paid, the points will be cleared. However, for Class AB licenses, a 6-point deduction requires attending a course during the annual review. More details are as follows: Note 1: The motor vehicle driver must attend a seven-day study session on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge at the traffic management department of the public security authority where the license was issued or where the violation occurred within 15 days. After completing the study, the vehicle management office must conduct an examination on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge within 20 days. If the exam is passed, the points will be cleared, and the license will be returned; if failed, the driver must continue studying and retake the exam. Those who refuse to attend the study or take the exam will have their license suspended by the traffic management department. Note 2: If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 points or more twice within one scoring cycle, or accumulates 24 points or more, the vehicle management office must also conduct a road driving skills test within 10 days after passing the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge exam. The road driving skills test will be based on the highest vehicle class permitted by the driver's license.
