How Many Points Can Be Deducted Through Traffic Law Learning?

[LilahRose]

The maximum points that can be deducted through traffic law learning within one scoring cycle is 6 points. 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 "Work Standards for Reducing Points of Road Traffic Violations Through Accepting Traffic Safety Education (Trial)": Motor vehicle drivers who apply to participate in traffic safety education to reduce points for traffic violations must participate in corresponding road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge learning, examinations, or traffic safety public activities according to their highest permitted driving license type and meet relevant requirements to apply for point reduction. Traffic law learning and point deduction is a measure for drivers holding a driving 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 is a convenient traffic management measure uniformly deployed by the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security. Specific precautions are as follows: Applicable Groups: Motor vehicle drivers holding a People's Republic of China motor vehicle driving license, regardless of the driving license type or whether they are commercial vehicle drivers, can participate in traffic law learning and point deduction. They must participate in corresponding road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge learning and examinations according to their highest permitted driving license type. Specific Rules: Motor vehicle drivers participating in online road traffic laws, regulations, and related content learning must study continuously for 5 minutes each time, accumulating 30 minutes of study time within 3 days. They can then register for an examination within 7 days. Passing the examination can reduce 1 point. Drivers can also attend on-site learning, with each session lasting no less than 1 hour. After completing the required study hours, they can apply for an examination. Passing the examination can reduce 2 points. Drivers can also participate in offline safety public activities, with each hour of participation reducing 1 point. Non-acceptance Situations: The following circumstances 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 driving license is in the probation period or has not been reviewed on time. The driver has unprocessed traffic violation records under their name. The driver has a motor vehicle under their name with an expired safety technical inspection or not deregistered as required. The driver has already reduced the maximum 6 points within the cycle.

I previously had some points deducted, so I used the Traffic Management 12123 APP to reduce points through learning. I watched some safety videos online and took a test, with a maximum reduction of 6 points at a time. The actual reduction depends on your test score—for example, if you perform well, you might get 4 or 6 points deducted. Just a reminder: the reduction can't exceed your current deducted points. That time, I had 5 points deducted and reduced 5. Remember to do this within one year of the deduction—don’t wait until you hit 12 points to panic. It’s also good to learn like this regularly—it makes driving safer and reduces accidents. Every time I reduce points, I pick up a new habit, like reviewing traffic rules in my free time, and my friends all say I’m reliable. If there are new courses on the APP, participating more can help reduce points faster.

The maximum deduction for learning traffic rules is 6 points. I find it quite convenient to operate via mobile app. Each test can deduct 1-6 points depending on performance - last time I only got 3 points deducted because I made too many mistakes. You need to do this during the penalty period. The app offers video lessons and mini-tests that don't take much time. Developing a habit of reviewing traffic rules before driving helps a lot. As a young driver, I think this method is great - it reduces penalties while improving knowledge. It's best to participate monthly rather than waiting until the deadline. Remember, you can't use this when your points are already full, so doing it early is most efficient.

The 'Study to Reduce Points' program can deduct up to 6 points, which is quite helpful. I think the process is great—it reduces penalty points while increasing safety knowledge. Each participation requires passing an exam to deduct 1 to 6 points. Remember, it's most worthwhile when you have few points deducted; otherwise, it's wasted effort. Developing a regular study habit can prevent point deductions, and I always encourage friends to try it. It's a simple mobile operation that takes just a few minutes.
