How Many Points Does a Crew License Have?
2 Answers
Crew members have a total of 15 points within a scoring cycle. Below is extended information regarding crew licenses: 1. Points for Violations: The point deductions for crew violations are categorized into five levels: 15 points, 8 points, 4 points, 2 points, and 1 point. 2. Classification of Crew Licenses: Crew licenses are classified into Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class D competency certificates. The classifications are as follows: (1) By Navigation Area: Divided into unlimited navigation areas, near-sea navigation areas, coastal navigation areas, and near-shore navigation areas (i.e., Class A, B, C, D). Deckhands and engine room personnel are only classified under Class B and C. (2) By Vessel Grade: Divided into First-Class, Second-Class, and Third-Class competency certificates.
I've been driving for over a decade. The initial score for a driver's license is generally 12 points nationwide. Each traffic violation, such as running a red light, speeding, or drunk driving, will deduct corresponding points based on severity: minor offenses deduct 1-2 points, while major violations like drunk driving directly deduct all 12 points. When the score reaches zero, the license will be revoked, requiring retaking both the theoretical and practical driving tests. This system aims to encourage safe driving and ensure compliance with traffic rules. I've seen many drivers neglect their accumulated points, only to have their licenses suspended before serious incidents occur, which is truly frustrating. I recommend regularly checking your points via traffic apps and developing good driving habits to avoid letting small oversights ruin the joy of driving.
