How many points are there during the probationary period of a C1 driver's license?

A driver's license has 12 points during the probationary period. If 1-11 points are deducted, the probationary period will end normally after paying the fines; if 12 points are deducted, the driver's license will be directly revoked. For a C1 driver's license, as long as the total deductions do not reach 12 points during the probationary period, there is no issue, and there is no extension of the probationary period. The probationary period will end normally if the deductions do not reach 12 points. The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" stipulate the following: 1. If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 points during the probationary period, the driving qualification for the probationary vehicle type will be revoked. If the revoked driving qualification is not for the highest permitted vehicle type, the driving qualification for the highest permitted vehicle type shall also be revoked in accordance with the provisions of Article 68, Paragraph 1. 2. For drivers holding licenses for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium buses, or large trucks, if they accumulate 6 or more points but less than 12 points during the one-year probationary period, the probationary period will be extended by one year. If they again accumulate 6 or more points but less than 12 points during the extended probationary period, the driving qualification for the probationary vehicle type will be revoked.
I just got my C1 driver's license, and I was particularly nervous at the beginning of the probationary period because the points are 12, the same as for regular drivers. I was always afraid of getting points deducted while driving—if you accumulate 12 points during the probationary period, I heard your license can be directly revoked, meaning you’d have to go back to driving school and retake all the tests from Theory to Road Test. What a hassle! So, I’ve been extra careful on the road: no speeding, no running red lights, always wearing a seatbelt, and parking properly to avoid violations. Here’s a practical tip: new drivers shouldn’t rush onto highways—take time to practice in the city first. Once the probationary period is over, your points will be secure. Safety first—don’t let a moment of recklessness ruin the hard-earned license.
