A1 driver's license will not be affected as long as the total points deducted do not reach 12. Here are some precautions regarding the probationary period of the driver's license: Probationary period sign: During the probationary period, a uniform probationary period sign printed by the traffic management department should be posted on the rear of the vehicle being driven. Highway driving: When driving a motor vehicle on the highway during the probationary period, the driver should be accompanied by a driver who has held a driver's license for the corresponding or higher vehicle type for more than three years. Among them, when driving a small automatic passenger car for the disabled, the driver can be accompanied by a driver who holds a driver's license for small automatic passenger cars or higher vehicle types.

I've been driving buses for over a decade and know the A1 license point system well. The key is not to exceed 5 points - with 1-5 points deducted, you can still use your license normally. Once you reach 6 points, you'll need to go for verification, which involves troublesome traffic department training. The scoring cycle lasts 12 months, after which points are reset. Always drive carefully - avoid running red lights and speeding, as these minor violations easily accumulate points. Safety comes first - bus drivers bear heavy responsibilities, so make it a habit to check maps and traffic signals regularly.

New drivers often worry about accumulating too many demerit points. I inquired about this right after getting my A1 license. If you have 5 or fewer points deducted, it won’t affect your driving, and you can continue using your license as usual. However, if you accumulate 6 or more points, you’ll need to go through a review process. The points reset to zero at the end of each annual cycle. Simply put, keep your points below 5, drive calmly, and follow road signs to stay safe.

The maximum demerit points for an A1 driver's license is 5, which does not affect its use. 1-5 points deducted is acceptable; from 6 points onwards, a review is required. The demerit points are reset every 12 months. Safe driving is the key.
