How Many Points Are There for Motorcycles?

[TheoRose]

The cumulative scoring cycle for road traffic safety violations (i.e., the scoring cycle) is 12 months, with a full score of 12 points, calculated from the date the motor vehicle driver's license is initially obtained. As long as it is a motor vehicle, the full score within a scoring cycle is the same, which is 12 points. Below is relevant information about point deductions: Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses: Article 65: The cumulative scoring cycle for road traffic safety violations (i.e., the scoring cycle) is 12 months, with a full score of 12 points, calculated from the date the motor vehicle driver's license is initially obtained. Violation Point Values: Based on the severity of road traffic safety violations, the point values for a single violation are divided into five categories: 12 points, 6 points, 3 points, 2 points, and 1 point.

The motorcycle license follows the same 12-point system as the car license. There are many common point deductions: riding without a helmet costs 2 points at once, which is especially important for beginners to note; speeding over 20% results in 3 points, while exceeding 50% leads to a direct 6-point deduction—speeding in urban areas can easily get you caught; riding in slippers also deducts 1 point. Running a red light or riding under the influence of alcohol will directly deduct 6 points. The most severe offense is hit-and-run, which results in losing all 12 points and requires retaking the exam. It is recommended to use the Traffic Management 12123 App to check your points regularly—if you accumulate 12 points within a cycle, you’ll have to retake the written test.

The penalty point system for motorcycle riding is actually quite strict. I've seen many riders suffer consequences: failing to drive in the designated lane definitely costs 1 point, while illegal overtaking is even harsher at 3 points. The most easily overlooked violation is riding at night without headlights on, which also costs 1 point. Intentionally covering the license plate is the most costly, resulting in an immediate loss of 9 points. Some riders modify their exhaust or lights, and if caught, they'll be penalized with 3 points for illegal modifications. The key thing to remember is: if you accumulate 12 points in three consecutive scoring cycles, your motorcycle license will be downgraded, and you won't even be able to ride large-displacement bikes anymore.

Motorcycle license demerit points are directly related to safety risks. Not wearing a helmet may seem trivial, but it results in 2 penalty points and increases accident fatality rates by 23 times. Running a red light carries 6 penalty points and often leads to severe accidents – motorcycles offer no protection in collisions. Speeding over 50% incurs 6 penalty points while nearly doubling braking distance. Drunk driving carries the heaviest penalties – blood alcohol content reaching 80mg triggers license revocation as drunk driving. Always check brake lights before riding; malfunctioning turn signals also incur 1 penalty point – the most frustrating point loss.

To avoid penalty points, pay attention to these key points: Always buy a helmet with 3C certification for safety and to prevent a 2-point deduction; Regularly check your vehicle's condition—faulty brakes can result in a 3-point penalty; Avoid installing phone mounts in positions that obstruct your view, as distracted driving carries a 3-point penalty; Passengers on the back seat must be at least 12 years old—violations incur a 1-point deduction; Riding over 30km/h in rainy weather drastically increases hydroplaning risks—it's better to slow down than face speeding penalties. It's advisable to check your violation records weekly, as many minor infractions only result in a warning for the first offense, and timely handling can save you points.

My car enthusiast group often discusses points deduction experiences: Taking the non-motorized lane saves time? Get caught and it's 1 point deducted; Parking on the emergency lane is convenient? That's an instant 6 points. Never ride a modified motorcycle—if caught, you lose all 12 points plus a fine. Actually, the most dangerous point deduction is overloading—a 125cc bike carrying two people is definitely overweight, costing 1 point, but the braking distance doubles, making rear-end collisions highly likely. Riding a motorcycle isn't just about avoiding points; the key is to remember—behind every point deduction is a bloody accident lesson. Rather than worrying about points, it's better to whisper 'safety first' every time you twist the throttle.
