How many points can a C1 license lose without affecting it?

A maximum of 11 points can be deducted in one year. Each driver's license has 12 points per cycle (i.e., one year), which resets on January 1st every year. This means that from January 1st to December 31st, if you lose 11 points, you still have 1 point left, so there's no need to worry. However, if you lose all 12 points during this period, you will have to voluntarily attend a traffic police training session and retake the test. As long as you don't lose all 12 points, there will be no impact. C1 License Test: The test subjects include four items: traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, road driving, and safe and civilized driving knowledge. Passing standards: Traffic regulations and related knowledge (Subject 1) — Written test, full score of 100, 90 or above is passing. Field driving (Subject 2) — On-site, actual vehicle. The minimum requirement is 80 points, below 80 is failing. Road driving (Subject 3) — Highway or simulated field, actual vehicle. Full score of 100, must achieve 90 or above to pass. Safe and civilized driving knowledge — Written test, questions mainly in the form of cases, pictures, animations, etc., including true/false, single-choice, and multiple-choice questions, totaling 50 questions, full score of 100, 90 is passing.

As a seasoned driver, I'd like to share some practical advice: With a C1 driver's license, you can accumulate up to 11 penalty points in one scoring cycle without affecting your driving eligibility - that's the hard rule. But honestly, don't push your luck. I've seen too many novice drivers panic when they reach 10 points, constantly checking the 12123 app. Remember, the probation period is especially risky - if you accumulate 12 points during probation, your license gets revoked and you'll have to retake all four driving tests from scratch! My cousin lost his license last year just for speeding and crossing solid lines. I recommend installing a radar detector for early warnings - it's better to take a detour than cross lines recklessly, and never exceed 20% over the speed limit on highways. Treat your safety points like smartphone battery life - use them sparingly and wisely.

I just finished handling my 6-point traffic violation, and I'd like to clarify for everyone: A C1 driver's license can accumulate up to 11 points annually before resetting without suspension, as long as the 12-point limit isn't exceeded. But don't take it lightly—my colleague was rear-ended last month while at 11 points, was assigned secondary responsibility by traffic police adding 1 more point, and had his license confiscated on the spot. Extra reminder for new drivers: Accumulating 12 points during the probation period is 10 times more severe than during the regular period—it leads to direct license cancellation requiring full re-examination. Now, the traffic management app offers a 'study-to-reduce-points' feature where watching videos and answering questions can offset up to 6 points. It's recommended to use this for damage control after a violation.

After eight years of driving, I've learned a painful lesson: The safe threshold for a C1 driver's license is 11 points within a scoring cycle. But this number can be deceptive – getting 9 points deducted for two consecutive years will trigger the warning system. The worst trap is that exceeding the speed limit by 50% on highways results in an immediate 12-point deduction at once. My friend had to retake the written test because of this. My advice: Always handle traffic violations promptly without delay, as unpaid fines will carry over to the next cycle. New drivers especially note: The first 12 months after obtaining your license is a critical probation period. Accumulating 12 points during this period doesn't just mean taking a theory test like experienced drivers – your entire license gets revoked and you must restart driving school from scratch.
