How many points can be deducted for a newly obtained driver's license?
2 Answers
Newly obtained driver's licenses can have points deducted, with a maximum of 11 points. Here is additional information: Relevant regulations: According to Article 79 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses,' if a motor vehicle driver accumulates a full 12 points for road traffic safety violations during the probationary period, the driving qualification for the probationary vehicle type will be revoked. If the revoked driving qualification is not for the highest permitted vehicle type, the driving qualification for the highest permitted vehicle type shall also be revoked in accordance with the first paragraph of Article 78. Driver's license: A driver's license is a 'license permit': Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills. Without these skills, driving a motor vehicle recklessly may lead to traffic accidents. Drivers without a license cannot drive on the road. However, for those who already possess safe driving skills, the document that permits them to drive vehicles on the road is the 'driver's license.' This indicates that a driver's license is a 'license permit.'
I've been driving for almost ten years, and I can't help but give some advice every time I see new drivers getting their licenses. During the probationary period, you can only accumulate a maximum of 12 penalty points—exceed that, and your license will be revoked, forcing you to retake the test from scratch. It's not just about the exam fees; it also wastes time and energy. I remember being extra cautious during my probationary period, avoiding speeding or running red lights, as these mistakes often cost 6 points at once. My advice: develop good habits—familiarize yourself with traffic rules, pay attention to road signs, and use navigation alerts for speed limits. Safety comes first, and you'll drive with more confidence after the probationary period. If you do get penalized, address it promptly, but prevention is always better. Safe driving is what matters most.
