Do I still need to study if my A2 driver's license is deducted one point?

Yes, you need to study. If an A2 license holder has points deducted but the total is less than 12 points in the current scoring cycle, they must undergo safety education and inspection at the local vehicle management office within 30 days after the scoring cycle ends. For an A2 driver's license with 1-11 points deducted, three hours of safety study are required, which must be completed at the local vehicle management office within 30 days after the scoring cycle ends. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Reaching 12 points: If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 points in one scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security authority shall detain their motor vehicle driving license. 2. Attending study: 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 driving 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 examination is passed, the points will be cleared, and the motor vehicle driving license will be returned. If the examination is failed, the driver must continue to study and take the exam.
As an ordinary car owner, I once had one point deducted from my license due to speeding. For an A2 driver's license, having one point deducted does not require attending a study session, which I have confirmed through official information. Under China's driver's license point system, deductions below 6 or 9 points (depending on the situation) usually do not trigger the need for study; only when the total reaches 12 points is study and a test mandatory, and there may even be a downgrade of the license. So, losing one point is not a big deal and won't affect daily driving. However, I would advise all drivers to keep track of their points, regularly check their scores on the traffic management app, and not let minor violations accumulate into major issues. Safe driving should always come first, and reducing violations can help avoid unnecessary trouble. Always strictly adhere to traffic rules while driving to protect your own safety and that of others. Regularly reviewing traffic regulations can also help prevent problems before they occur.
