How Many Points Can Be Deducted in the First Year of Having a Driver's License?
2 Answers
New drivers with a C1 license can have 11 points deducted in the first year. Below is an introduction to the driver's license: Introduction: The full name of the driver's license is the motor vehicle driver's license, also known as the "driver's license." It is a certificate required by law for motor vehicle drivers. Examination: Subject 1: Traffic regulations and related knowledge, with a full score of 100, and a passing score of 90 or above. Subject 2: Field driving, which is only graded as pass or fail, with 9 mandatory test items. Subject 3: Road driving, where all tests are conducted under electronic surveillance and with traffic police supervision, ensuring greater fairness in the road test. Subject 4: Theoretical test on safe and civilized driving knowledge.
When I first got my driver's license, I was extra cautious because the first year was the probationary period with special demerit point rules. You only have a total of 12 points, and exceeding that means immediate license revocation, requiring a retest—quite troublesome. I remember the probationary period allows up to 11 demerit points to keep the license, but hitting 12 points means game over. Common violations like speeding deduct 3 points, and running a red light deducts 6 points—it adds up easily. I recommend new drivers install a dashcam to monitor road conditions and avoid unfair penalties, plus study the traffic rule handbook thoroughly. During the probationary period, drive patiently and steadily—it significantly boosts safety. Experience taught me that driving carefully in the first year leads to more confidence on the road in the second year. In short, rules are your safeguard; following them saves hassle and money.
