How are points deducted after merging C1 and D licenses?
2 Answers
After merging C1 and D licenses, points are deducted as follows: According to the highest-level driver's license, if you violate traffic regulations while driving one of the vehicle types, the points will be recorded on the highest-level driver's license. Here is relevant information about C1D: 1. Permitted driving scope: The C1 license permits driving small cars, including small and micro passenger cars, light and micro trucks, and light, small, and micro special-purpose vehicles. The D license permits driving ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, which can operate three-wheeled motorcycles with an engine displacement greater than 50ml or a maximum design speed greater than 50km/h. 2. How to obtain the license: You need to pass the C1 driver's license test first and then apply for the D driver's license.
I've been driving for many years. When your C1 and D licenses are merged, they are unified into one booklet, and the demerit points are accumulated as a whole. For example, last time I was caught speeding on a motorcycle by the traffic police and got 6 points deducted. This doesn't just affect the D license part, but the entire driver's license is impacted. This means a violation in one vehicle will lower the points for all permitted vehicle types. I think although merging licenses makes it convenient to drive both cars and motorcycles, you have to be especially careful about the 12-point limit—exceeding it means you'll have to attend classes, take exams, and retake the written test. Last year, a buddy of mine didn't pay attention and hit the full 12 points, resulting in his license being suspended and having to retake the test, wasting a lot of time. I suggest everyone check their violation records more often and develop good habits like not running red lights or speeding, because safety should always come first.
