How is the deduction of 6 points calculated during the C1 period when upgrading to B2?
2 Answers
If you receive 6 penalty points on your C1 license during the upgrade process to B2, the B2 license will also have 6 points. The points will not be reset because of the upgrade to B2. Below are specific details about the upgrade process: 1. Upgrade to medium-sized bus license: You must have held a city bus, large truck, small car, small automatic car, low-speed truck, or three-wheeled vehicle license for at least three years, with no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in any of the last three scoring cycles before application. 2. Upgrade to tractor license: You must have held a medium-sized bus or large truck license for at least three years, or a large bus license for at least one year, with no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in any of the last three scoring cycles before application. 3. Upgrade to large bus license: You must have held a city bus, medium-sized bus, or large truck license for at least five years, or a tractor license for at least two years, with no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in any of the last five scoring cycles before application.
I've dealt with similar situations before. The key to upgrading from a C1 to a B2 driver's license after getting 6 penalty points lies in traffic regulations. Generally, upgrading to B2 requires holding a C1 license for at least one year, with no more than 11 accumulated penalty points in the last two complete scoring cycles. A scoring cycle lasts 12 months, starting from the license issuance date. Since you've got 6 points now, as long as your current cycle doesn't accumulate to 12 points, you're fine – no need to worry too much. However, to ensure a smooth upgrade process, I recommend waiting until the scoring cycle ends and your points reset before applying, to avoid additional scrutiny. Using the Traffic Management 12123 app makes checking points and handling violations much easier. Safe driving is fundamental – always obey speed limits, avoid drunk driving, and pay attention to traffic signals. Keeping penalty points low makes upgrading easier. Remember, upgrading to B2 requires both a written test and a road test, so reviewing traffic regulations thoroughly will help you pass on the first try.
