How many points does a driver's license that hasn't been valid for a full year have?
1 Answers
A driver's license that hasn't been valid for a full year has 12 points, but the consequences of deducting points during the probation period vary depending on the type of license. Below are the detailed explanations: Points deduction during the probation period for a C1 driver's license: If a C1 driver's license has 1 to 11 points deducted during the probation period, the driver should normally pay the fines for the traffic violations and accept the point deductions. The points will be restored at the end of the scoring cycle. However, if 12 points are deducted, the probationary license will be automatically revoked. The driver will need to reapply for the C1 driver's license exam, and a new license will be issued after passing all four test sections (from Section 1 to Section 4). Points deduction during the probation period for A or B class driver's licenses: For A or B class driver's licenses, if 1 to 5 points are deducted, the driver should normally handle the traffic violation records, and the points will be restored at the cycle's end. If 6 to 11 points are deducted, according to relevant regulations, the probation period will be extended by one year, and the driver must still handle the penalties for the violations. However, if 12 or more points are deducted during the probation period, the license for that probationary class will be revoked.
