How many points can be left on the driver's license without any impact?

C1 driver's license requires at least one point to be left, meaning a maximum of 11 points can be deducted. Below is relevant information: 1. After all points are deducted: You must go to the traffic police department at the place where the license was issued or where the violation occurred within 15 days, pay the fine for the violation, complete the full-score education, and have your license confiscated. During this period, you cannot drive a car; otherwise, it will be considered driving without a license, which carries more severe penalties. 2. Notes: To avoid affecting the normal use of the C1 driver's license, you only need to pay the fine for 11 points, and the points will be reset in the next scoring cycle. Pay attention to the C1 driver's license during the probationary period. If 12 points are deducted during the probationary period, the license will be automatically revoked, and you will need to reapply for a C1 driver's license at the driving school.
I've always believed that maintaining a safe driver's license point balance is crucial, as the full score is only 12 points. Any deduction could potentially create risks, but generally keeping above 9 points is relatively safe, avoiding immediate suspension or mandatory retraining. As an experienced driver, I've noticed that penalty points accumulate – for instance, speeding once deducts 3-6 points, and running a red light costs 6 points. Combined, these can easily reach the 12-point threshold, which spells big trouble. It's advisable not to let your points fall below 6, as this might require retesting or driving restrictions. When driving, remember to follow rules: avoid speeding, wear seatbelts, and never drink and drive – these small habits can save your points. I recommend checking your points quarterly through traffic apps, maintaining around 8 points as a buffer for unexpected situations. Safe driving not only protects your points but also safeguards you and pedestrians. Developing good habits is the sustainable approach.
From a regulatory perspective, the driver's license demerit point system operates on a 12-point scale. Theoretically, there's no such thing as 'no-impact points' because even a single point deduction will be recorded, potentially leading to increased insurance premiums or future license renewal issues. In practice, maintaining 10 or 11 points has minimal consequences—for example, being reduced to 9 points might only require paying a fine. The key is to avoid major violations: drunk driving results in an immediate 12-point deduction and license revocation, while speeding penalties of 6 points or more are particularly troublesome. I advise beginners to thoroughly understand the rules: download the 12123 app to monitor points in real-time, and exercise extreme caution when points drop below 8. Always remember traffic lights and yield to pedestrians—these practices effectively help control point deductions. Safety should always be the priority; never risk points to save time.
