How many points can a new driver deduct in the first year?
1 Answers
During the first-year probation period of a C1 driver's license, a maximum of 11 points can be deducted. For C-class licenses and motorcycle driver's licenses, as long as the points do not reach 12 during the probation period, there will be no issues, and the probation period will not be extended. However, if 12 points are accumulated during the probation period, the license will be directly revoked, and the driver will need to retake the driving test from scratch to legally drive again. Therefore, it is crucial for C-class license holders not to accumulate 12 points during the probation period—the maximum allowable is 11 points. No other adverse consequences: If a new driver accumulates 6 points, as long as the traffic violation fines are paid, the 6 points will be cleared and will not carry over to the next scoring cycle, nor will they result in any other negative consequences. Probation period extended by one year: However, for large passenger vehicles, tow trucks, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, and large truck driver's licenses, if 6 or more points (but less than 12) are accumulated during the one-year probation period, the probation period will be extended by one year.
