1 Answers
The deduction of points through traffic law learning for a driver's license is not calculated on a daily basis but allows a maximum deduction of 6 points within a scoring cycle. According to Article 5 of the Notice issued by the Ministry of Public Security on January 14, 2020 (Public Traffic Management [2020] No. 14), titled "Regulations on Reducing Road Traffic Violation Points Through Accepting Traffic Safety Education (Trial)": Motor vehicle drivers who apply to participate in traffic safety education to reduce traffic violation points must participate in corresponding road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge learning, examinations, or traffic safety public welfare activities based on their highest permitted driving license type and meet the relevant requirements to apply for the reduction of traffic violation points. Point reduction through learning is a measure aimed at drivers holding a driver's license who have been penalized with points due to traffic violations. After participating in online traffic safety learning and passing the examination, their points can be reduced. This initiative is a convenient measure uniformly deployed by the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security. Purpose: Point reduction through learning is intended to deduct existing points on a driver's license, not to add points or replace penalty points for violations. The points obtained through free learning are used to clear the penalty records. For example, if a violation results in a 6-point deduction, passing the point reduction examination can clear these 6 points, allowing a fresh start. Regulations: The number of points that can still be deducted after point reduction depends on how many points the driver had before participating in the learning program, but the cumulative deduction cannot exceed 11 points. Regardless of participation in point reduction, a driver's license only has 12 points. Point reduction through learning can only deduct existing points on the license, not increase the total points to 18. Specific considerations are as follows: Applicable individuals: Motor vehicle drivers holding a People's Republic of China motor vehicle driver's license, regardless of the permitted driving license type or whether they are commercial vehicle drivers, can participate in point reduction through learning. They must participate in corresponding road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge learning and examinations based on their highest permitted driving license type. Specific rules: Motor vehicle drivers participating in online road traffic laws, regulations, and related content learning must complete continuous learning sessions of at least 5 minutes each. Within 3 days, the cumulative learning time must reach 30 minutes. Then, within 7 days, they can register for an examination. Passing the examination allows a reduction of 1 point. Drivers can also attend on-site learning sessions, with each session lasting no less than 1 hour. After completing the required learning hours, they can apply for an examination. Passing the examination allows a reduction of 2 points. Drivers can also participate in offline traffic safety public welfare activities, with each session lasting 1 hour, allowing a reduction of 1 point per session. Within 3 days, the cumulative learning time must reach 30 minutes, with each learning session lasting no less than 5 minutes. Passing the examination allows a one-time reduction of 1 point. Cases not accepted: Under any of the following circumstances, the application will not be accepted: In the previous scoring cycle, the driver had two or more full-point records. Within a 3-point cycle, the driver was involved in hit-and-run accidents, drunk driving, or the manufacture or alteration of documents or license plates. The motor vehicle driver's license is in the probation period or has not been reviewed on time. The motor vehicle driver has unprocessed traffic violation records under their name. The motor vehicle driver has a vehicle under their name with an overdue safety technical inspection or not deregistered as required. The driver has already reduced the maximum of 6 points within the cycle.
