Does a C1 driver's license require annual review if points are deducted?
2 Answers
No. A C1 driver's license does not require annual review if points are deducted. A C1 driver's license allows the holder to drive both manual and automatic transmission small cars. A C2 driver's license only permits driving automatic transmission small cars. Vehicle types permitted with a C1 driver's license: The C1 license covers small and micro passenger vehicles, light and micro cargo vehicles; light, small, and micro special-purpose vehicles; and small passenger vehicles with a seating capacity of 9 or fewer. Vehicles not permitted with a C1 driver's license: large buses, tractors, city buses, medium buses, large trucks, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, light motorcycles, wheeled self-propelled machinery, trolleybuses, and trams. Additionally, a C1 license does not permit driving vehicles with more than 9 seats or trucks with a total length exceeding 6 meters. What is a C1 driver's license: A C1 driver's license is one of the codes for motor vehicle driver's licenses. It permits driving small and micro passenger vehicles, light and micro cargo vehicles; light, small, and micro special-purpose vehicles; and small passenger vehicles with a seating capacity of 9 or fewer. Age requirements: The minimum age to apply for a C1 driver's license is 18 years old, with no upper age limit. However, applicants over 70 must pass tests for memory, judgment, and reaction abilities.
A C1 driver's license generally does not require an annual review. The license is valid for a certain number of years before renewal is needed, such as every 6 or 10 years, when you must visit the vehicle management office to handle the renewal procedures. If you have penalty points, as long as they do not reach 12, the points will automatically reset at the end of the scoring cycle without triggering additional annual review requirements. However, if you accumulate 12 points, the situation becomes more complicated. You must first pay all fines, then attend a 7-day traffic safety education course, and finally pass the written test (Subject 1) to restore your driving privileges. As a car owner, I recommend always paying attention to traffic rules while driving to avoid speeding or running red lights, as accumulating penalty points not only causes trouble but may also affect future insurance costs. Regularly checking your driver's license status is a good habit to ensure safe driving and prevent negligence from affecting your travel convenience.
