How is the deduction of 6 points calculated during the C1 period when upgrading to B2?

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.

I also upgraded to a B2 license before, and had similar points deducted when holding a C1. Based on experience, 6 points usually don't affect B2 applications. The upgrade requirements are holding a C1 for at least one year and not accumulating 12 points in two consecutive scoring cycles. I suggest checking your accumulated points first—you can do this easily with a mobile app. Don't rush to apply for the upgrade right after getting points; wait until the 12-month cycle ends and your points reset for a smoother process. The procedure involves submitting documents at the DMV, a medical check, and an exam—simple but requires patience. Be extra careful not to commit major violations like speeding over 50% or drunk driving, as these serious offenses can block your upgrade. Regularly track your points via the app to stay informed, and always prioritize safety.

Getting demerit points while driving is quite common, and having six points deducted when upgrading from a C1 to a B2 license isn't a major obstacle. The rule is that as long as you've held a C1 license for at least one year and haven't had a full demerit point record in two scoring cycles, upgrading is fine. The key is to ensure your current points don't accumulate to 12; after handling any violations, you can continue using your vehicle normally. It's advisable to wait until the current scoring cycle ends before applying for a B2 license to avoid complications. The process includes a medical check and exams, but don't worry—low points have little impact. Prioritize safety and regularly check your points on the app.
