How many points deduction requires attending classes?

[MacLucy]

C1 driver's license holders must attend classes if they accumulate 12 penalty points within one scoring cycle; those who reach 12 points during the probationary period will have their driving qualification for the probationary vehicle type revoked. Relevant regulations are as follows: 1. Article 58 of the new traffic regulations stipulates: If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 penalty points within one scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall detain their motor vehicle driver's license. The motor vehicle driver shall, within 15 days, attend a seven-day study session on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge at the traffic management department of the public security organ where the driver's license was issued or where the violation occurred. 2. Article 69 of the new traffic regulations stipulates: If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 penalty points during the probationary period, their driving qualification for the probationary vehicle type shall be revoked.

I heard a friend who ran consecutive red lights last year got 12 demerit points and was directly notified by traffic police to attend a 7-day traffic safety training course, plus retaking the written test (Subject 1). Actually, traffic laws clearly state that accumulating 12 points within a scoring cycle mandates attending training and exams. It's even worse if you reach 24 points – besides theoretical study, you'll have to retake the road test (Subject 3). While ordinary car drivers like us don't need training for 6 demerit points, truck and taxi drivers face much stricter rules. They must undergo annual verification education as long as their license has any demerit record. During my last annual inspection, the staff mentioned many places now offer online learning options, but offline exams are unavoidable – not only time-consuming but also leading to increased insurance premiums.

Last year, I was penalized with 9 demerit points for speeding and was terrified at the thought of having to attend traffic classes. Later, I learned that as long as the total demerit points on a regular car driver's license don't reach 12 within the scoring cycle, no classes are required. However, the rules are much stricter for Class B and Class A licenses. A bus driver I know told me that last year, he was penalized with 3 points for illegal parking and was consequently mandated to attend a three-hour on-site warning education session. For such review and study sessions, participants are required to bring their ID card and driver's license, and the content mainly covers accident case studies and safety regulations. Of course, the most severe is the 'full-score study'—accumulating 12 demerit points necessitates reporting to the vehicle management office, and during the study period, even the driver's license is temporarily confiscated, leaving no possibility of driving.

When I first got my driver's license, I specifically asked my instructor about the penalty point rules. If you accumulate 12 penalty points, you have to go to the DMV for seven days of education, studying traffic regulations for at least three hours each day, followed by an on-the-spot test. The most troublesome situation is for truck drivers. My neighbor drives a dump truck and got 6 points deducted last year for running a yellow light, resulting in mandatory monthly safety training. Nowadays, you can also study through the Traffic Management 12123 APP, but if you accumulate 12 points, you still have to take the offline subject one exam. A special reminder for new drivers in their probationary period: accumulating 12 points will result in immediate license revocation, requiring you to retake the driving test.
