How many points can be deducted during the probationary period for new drivers?

[NaomiLynn]

During the probationary period, a maximum of 11 points can be deducted. If all 12 points are deducted within the 12-month probationary period, the driver's license will be revoked. The driver will need to re-enroll in a driving school, pass the exams, and reapply for a driver's license, which will also cancel their probationary driving qualification for the specific vehicle type. Related information: 1. Probationary period: The driver's license probationary period refers to the 12 months after a motor vehicle driver initially obtains their license. 2. Probationary sign: During the probationary period, when driving a motor vehicle, a uniform probationary sign must be affixed or hung at the rear of the vehicle. Failure to display the uniform sign may result in a fine of 200 yuan.

When I first got my driver's license, the probation period was 12 months. The most important rule was not to accumulate more than 12 penalty points, otherwise the entire license would be revoked, forcing me to retake driving lessons and exams—a waste of time and money. I remember my instructor constantly reminding me that as a novice driver with unpolished skills, I was prone to minor mistakes like speeding or illegal lane changes, which would result in penalty points. I made a point to avoid speeding, stay focused on road conditions, and only ended up with one 3-point penalty, safely passing the probation period. My advice to other new drivers: use navigation apps to monitor speed limits, regularly check your points balance via dedicated apps, and don’t underestimate the risks of driving in rain or snow—stay home if possible, prioritizing safety. In short, aim to keep penalty points as low as possible, ideally under 5, to avoid teetering near the dangerous 12-point threshold.

As someone who frequently follows traffic regulations, there's a clear demerit point limit for new drivers during the probationary period: the accumulated points must not exceed 12. Reaching the full limit will result in license revocation, requiring reapplication for the driving test. The probationary period typically lasts 12 months, and new drivers are prone to receiving demerit points due to unfamiliarity with driving techniques, such as speeding which incurs 3 to 6 points. I recommend adhering to speed limits, wearing seat belts, and avoiding distracted driving during this period. Before each trip, check the vehicle's condition and stay updated on rule changes. Keeping demerit points low not only protects yourself but also helps cultivate good driving habits. Additionally, participating in extra driving training courses can reduce risks and enhance safety. The goal is to keep points below 10 for safety, and don't wait until an accident occurs to regret it.

I've been driving for a few months during my probationary period and feel quite nervous. I heard that it's safer not to exceed 11 penalty points, otherwise I'd have to retake the driving test. I drive very carefully and only got penalized once with 2 points on the highway. The rule is: during the 12-month probationary period, accumulating 12 points will result in license revocation. New drivers should avoid speeding or running red lights as they incur points quickly; using aids like rearview cameras can help reduce mistakes. Having few penalty points gives me more confidence to continue driving.

When teaching beginners to drive, I often emphasize the importance of the 12-point limit during the probationary period. Exceeding this limit will result in the immediate revocation of the driver's license, forcing the beginner to retake the test, which adds unnecessary stress. I recommend that learners develop the habit of regularly checking their driving license points via an app and promptly correcting any issues with their driving habits. Additionally, attention should be paid to vehicle maintenance, as issues like non-functioning headlights may lead to point deductions and affect nighttime safety. The goal is to avoid or minimize point deductions, keeping them within a safe range of around 5 points. Practicing more in complex urban road scenarios can improve skills and help prevent point deductions.
