Failing to yield to a school bus as required while driving a motor vehicle results in a one-time deduction of six points. Here is more information about point deductions for motor vehicles: 1. Accumulation and Deduction Cycle: The demerit point cycle for traffic violations is generally 12 months, with a total of 12 points. Depending on the severity of the violation, points can be deducted as follows: 12 points, 6 points, 3 points, 2 points, or 1 point. In practice, there are also cases where 0.5 points are deducted. 2. Violations Resulting in a 1-Point Deduction: Failure to carry a vehicle registration or driver's license; vehicle not displaying an annual inspection sticker. 3. Violations Resulting in a 12-Point Deduction: Cutting in line during traffic congestion, occupying the opposite lane, failing to wait in the designated lane at a traffic light, or overloading by less than 20%.
