Does having only one point left on the license have any impact?
2 Answers
Having only one point left on the driver's license does not affect its use, and you can still drive on the road. Just be careful not to violate traffic rules again. After the scoring cycle ends and the fines are paid, the driver's license will naturally be restored to 12 points. The following are situations that deduct one point: 1. Driving license and vehicle license: Not carrying them. 2. Annual inspection: The vehicle does not display the inspection sticker. 3. Compulsory traffic insurance: The vehicle does not display the compulsory insurance sticker. 4. Seat belt: The front passenger does not wear a seat belt, deducting 1 point and imposing a corresponding fine. The following are situations that deduct two points: 1. Cutting in line: Cutting in line during traffic jams or occupying the opposite lane. 2. Wrong lane: Not waiting in the designated lane at traffic lights. 3. Overloading: Overloading by less than 20%.
Last time I had only one point left on my license, it felt like walking on thin ice—one wrong move and I'd be penalized. Driving became incredibly stressful; I didn't dare speed during the day, and at night I was terrified of getting caught for improper lighting. Having just one point left meant that any further violation could max out the 12-point limit, leading to a temporary license suspension and having to retake the written test. This isn't just a waste of time—it also means taking unpaid leave and losing wages. Worse, the psychological pressure made me more prone to mistakes. My advice to those with one point left: avoid night driving, regularly check your brake lights, or just hire a driver for peace of mind. Safety comes first—after all, an accident doesn't just harm you but also affects others, and in the long run, it could even hike up your car insurance rates.
