Does having 11 points deducted from a C1 license have any impact?
2 Answers
C1 license having 11 points deducted has little impact. If a motor vehicle driver's accumulated points within a scoring period do not reach 12, and the imposed penalties have been paid, the points will be cleared; if the points do not reach 12 but there are still unpaid penalties, the points will carry over to the next scoring period. The following are relevant details about C1: Permitted vehicle types: Small and micro passenger vehicles, light and micro cargo vehicles, and light, small, and micro special operation vehicles. Examination subjects: Include four items—traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, road driving, and safe and civilized driving common sense. Vehicle types not permitted to drive: Large buses, tractors, city buses, medium buses, large trucks, ordinary three-wheelers, ordinary two-wheelers, light wheeled self-propelled machinery vehicles, trolleybuses, and trams.
As a frequent driver, I fully understand that a C1 driver's license only has a total of 12 points. After deducting 11 points, only 1 point remains, which is a very precarious situation. This means that just one more violation like speeding or not wearing a seatbelt would max out the points. Once the points are maxed out, you must report to the traffic management department, mandatorily attend a week-long traffic safety education course, and retake the theoretical exam (Subject 1). This not only takes time off work but also incurs additional exam and transportation fees. Worse yet, repeated point deductions could lead to license suspension for one to three years, severely impacting mobility. Insurance-wise, a high point-deduction record will significantly increase next year's car insurance premium, costing thousands more annually. So the impact is multifaceted, creating pressure both legally and financially. I recommend immediately checking the point-deduction cycle via the traffic management app and strictly adhering to speed limits and safe following distances going forward. Avoid any further violations while waiting for points to reset automatically. Start cultivating safe driving habits today to prevent additional complications.
