How many points deducted for B2 license require attending classes?
3 Answers
For a B2 driver's license, attending classes is required even if only 1 point is deducted, because any point deduction on a B2 license necessitates an annual review, which includes a three-hour learning session. According to Article 70 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses,' motor vehicle drivers must periodically undergo review by the traffic management department of the public security authority in accordance with laws and administrative regulations. When renewing a motor vehicle driver's license under Articles 57 and 58 of these regulations, the driver must undergo review by the traffic management department of the public security authority. Drivers holding licenses for large buses, tractors, urban buses, medium-sized buses, or large trucks must undergo review by the traffic management department of the public security authority within thirty days after the end of each scoring cycle. However, if there are no point deduction records during a scoring cycle, the review for that cycle is exempted. Drivers holding licenses for vehicle types not specified in the third paragraph of this article, who are involved in a traffic accident resulting in death and bear equal or greater responsibility without having their license revoked, must undergo review by the traffic management department of the public security authority within thirty days after the end of the scoring cycle.
I drive heavy trucks, and with a B2 license, getting 12 points deducted means mandatory classes. Since I usually do long-haul trips, speeding or violations can quickly rack up points. I remember once getting 6 points deducted for fatigue driving—one more offense and I'd hit 12 points, forcing me to stop working and attend a 7-day course. The classes cover traffic rules and safe driving, plus there's an exam—failing it makes things even worse. My advice to fellow truck drivers: check your points regularly on the app, avoid drunk driving or running red lights. Safety first—once you max out your points, getting back on the road becomes much harder.
Just finished the B2 training, the instructor said the penalty points cannot exceed 12. If it's full, you must attend a week of classes like a student, reporting every day. The classes include both theory and practice, and the exam is quite strict—if you fail, you have to retake it. Be careful when driving, such as not changing lanes randomly or overloading, which could cost you 3 points at a time. Pay attention to the point reminders in the app and develop good habits. When your points are almost full, you can proactively attend classes to avoid trouble in advance.
