Does Having 11 Points Deducted from a Driver's License Have Any Impact?
2 Answers
Small car and motorcycle driver's licenses with 11 points deducted will not be affected; medium-sized passenger and truck driver's licenses with 11 points deducted require a review; large and medium-sized passenger and truck driver's licenses with 11 points deducted during the probation period will have their probation extended by one year. The specific details are as follows: Small car driver's license point deduction: If a motor vehicle driver's points do not reach 12 within a scoring cycle and the imposed fines have been paid, the points will be cleared; if the points do not reach 12 but there are unpaid fines, the points will carry over to the next scoring cycle. Medium-sized passenger and truck driver's license point deduction: Medium-sized passenger and truck driver's licenses with 11 points deducted require a review. During the review, the driver must participate in no less than three hours of study on road traffic safety laws and regulations, safe and civilized driving, emergency handling, etc., and receive case-based education on traffic accident warnings. Large and medium-sized passenger and truck driver's license point deduction: Drivers with large passenger vehicle, tractor, city bus, medium-sized passenger vehicle, or large truck licenses who accumulate 6 or more points but less than 12 points within a one-year probation period will have their probation extended by one year. If they accumulate 6 or more points but less than 12 points again during the extended probation period, their probationary driving qualification for the permitted vehicle type will be revoked.
Honestly, having 11 points deducted from your driver's license is quite risky. I've been driving for over 20 years and have seen many friends get into trouble because of this. Although you don't need to retake the test if you haven't reached 12 points, it's like walking on the edge of a cliff. One small mistake, like speeding or illegal parking, and you'll hit 12 points, forcing you to attend full-score education at the DMV. The biggest issue is the psychological pressure—you're always on edge while driving, afraid of getting caught by traffic cameras. A colleague of mine, after getting 11 points deducted, parked his car at home and took the bus for two months. My advice is to quickly check the 12123 APP to see if there's a chance to reduce points through legal studies, or simply avoid driving during peak hours on routes prone to violations.
