Getting demerit points during the probation period of a C1 driver's license does not have any impact. Accumulating demerit points during the probation period will not extend the probation period and will not affect the formalization of the license. However, if you accumulate 12 demerit points during the probation period, your driver's license will be revoked. To obtain a new license, you will need to retake all the driving tests, from Theory Test (Subject 1) to Road Test (Subject 4), and pass them all. The penalties during the probation period are very strict, so it is crucial to avoid accumulating 12 demerit points. There are two specific regulations to follow during the probation period: 1. A "Probationary Driver" sign must be displayed at the rear of the vehicle. Whether it's a new or used car, and regardless of ownership, if the driver is in the probation period, this sign must be displayed. Displaying the sign greatly benefits driving safety, as most drivers will keep their distance and yield to vehicles with this sign. 2. Probationary drivers cannot drive alone on highways. Regardless of driving skills, a probationary driver must be accompanied by an experienced driver who has held a license for at least three years when driving on highways.
