Do I need to retake the test if my Class A driver's license is deducted 12 points?
2 Answers
A Class A driver's license must be re-obtained if all 12 points are deducted. Taking the A1 license as an example, the following are the application requirements for an A1 license: 1. Obtained through upgrade: The A1 license can only be obtained through an upgrade, so before obtaining an A1 license, you must have one of the A3, B1, or B2 licenses. Only after five years of holding one of the A3 or B1 licenses can you apply for an A1 license, and you must not have been deducted 12 points in any of the recent five consecutive scoring cycles to successfully apply. For those holding a B2 driver's license, if there is no record of being deducted 12 points in the corresponding scoring cycle, the upgrade time can be reduced from the original five years to three years. 2. Physical conditions: (1) Height and age: The applicant must be between 22 and 60 years old, with a height of at least 155 cm. (2) Vision and hearing: The naked or corrected vision of both eyes must reach 5.0 or above. The applicant must be able to distinguish the sound source of a tuning fork at 50 cm with both ears, have normal physical activity without obvious defects, etc.
As someone with in-depth knowledge of automotive regulations, I understand that a Class A license is a special driver's license for operating large vehicles, commonly used by truck or bus drivers. If you accumulate 12 demerit points, you indeed need to retake the test, and the process is quite cumbersome. Your license will be temporarily suspended, and you must attend a 7-day traffic safety regulation course, studying traffic signs and driving rules every day. After completing the course, you must pass the theoretical test (Subject 1) to regain your license; if you fail, you'll have to retake it, and may even need to undergo a road test. This isn't just a punishment but more importantly reinforces safety awareness to prevent accidents. Think about it—Class A drivers operate large vehicles, and any accident can have severe consequences, so strict measures are necessary. I recommend regularly checking your points, using a car app to remind yourself, and avoiding speeding or distractions while driving. Remember, safety is paramount, and details make all the difference.
