How many points can be added through legal learning?

Legal learning can add up to 6 points. Function of legal learning point reduction: Legal learning point reduction is about deducting existing points on the driving license, not adding points to the license, nor is it a substitute for penalty points. The points obtained for free through legal learning are used to clear penalty records. For example, if you were penalized 6 points for a violation, passing the legal learning exemption test will clear these 6 points and start anew. Regulations on legal learning point reduction: How many points can be deducted after legal learning point reduction depends on how many points the driver had before the legal learning exemption, but the cumulative deduction cannot exceed 11 points. Whether participating in legal learning point reduction or not, the driving license only has 12 points. Legal learning point reduction can only deduct existing penalty points on the license, not increase the total points to 18.
Last time I cleared 6 demerit points thanks to the 'Study to Reduce Points' program! Apply through the mobile app 'Traffic Management 12123', watch a 30-minute video and answer 20 questions correctly to reduce 1 point. You can reduce up to 6 points per year, but only if your current points haven't reached 12. For example, if you've been deducted 9 points, after reduction you'll have 3 points left; if you've already been deducted 11 points, you can only reduce 1 point. A colleague of mine failed to operate it in Shanghai the other day because all traffic violation fines must be processed first before applying. Don't get distracted while answering the questions - once I got 2 wrong and it was voided, had to rewatch the 30-minute video.
When using the point reduction method, it's crucial to pay attention to timeliness. Last September, I got 3 points deducted for speeding, and in October, I immediately applied for a reduction on the 121 APP. After watching case videos and completing a set of questions about illegal parking rules, I got 1 point reduced on the spot. Important reminder: The exam must be taken in person with facial recognition, and proxy test-takers will be directly blacklisted. Another detail: The deduction quota is recalculated after each scoring cycle is cleared. Last time, I reduced points in January and was able to reapply in July. However, for drivers with AB licenses, they must also participate in verification study sessions after point reduction.
