How many points can be deducted after the probation period of the driver's license?

After the probation period of the driver's license, 11 points can be deducted, and if 12 points are deducted, the driver's license will be revoked. During the probation period of the driver's license, no more than 6 points should be deducted, otherwise the probation period will be extended by one year. The following are the four subjects for obtaining a driver's license: 1. Subject 1: Written test on traffic regulations and related knowledge, with a full score of 100, and a passing score of 90 or above (including 90). 2. Subject 2: On-site driving test, using an actual vehicle. The result is either pass or fail. It includes five mandatory test items: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving on a curve. All mandatory items must be passed to pass the Subject 2 test. 3. Subject 3: Road driving test on a highway or simulated site, using an actual vehicle. The result is either pass or fail. The test is fully monitored by electronic eyes and traffic police, ensuring fairness. Since January 1, 2013, with the implementation of new traffic regulations, the test has added items such as the use of lights, left and right turns, and passing through pedestrian crossings. 4. Subject 4: Added a theoretical test on safe and civilized driving knowledge. The difference from Subject 1 is the addition of image analysis and judgment. The test consists of 50 questions, each worth 2 points. The full score is 100, and a score of 90 or above is required to pass.
I just finished my probation period, and the demerit point system is still fresh in my memory. During the probation period, accumulating 12 points would result in the revocation of my driver's license, which was extremely stressful. Now that the probation period is over, the total points remain at 12, but the rules are different: if I accumulate 12 points, I won’t lose my license directly but will need to attend traffic safety education and retake the written test (Subject 1). This is a relief. I’ve checked the traffic regulations—after the probation period, some restrictive rules are lifted, such as being allowed to drive on highways independently, but the demerit point system remains just as strict. Violations can range widely, from 1 point for illegal parking to 12 points for drunk driving. I advise all new drivers to develop good habits after transitioning, like using the 12123 app to monitor their point status. Don’t take it lightly—accumulating points too quickly can be troublesome. Road safety comes first. Stay informed about the rules to avoid regrets.
