Not yielding to a school bus will result in a deduction of 6 points. Some regulations regarding the deduction of driving license points: 1. Violations resulting in a 12-point deduction: (1) Driving a motor vehicle that does not match the permitted vehicle type; (2) Driving a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol; (3) Driving a commercial passenger vehicle (excluding buses) or a school bus carrying more than 20% of the approved passenger capacity, etc. 2. Violations resulting in a 6-point deduction: (1) Driving a motor vehicle in violation of traffic signal lights; (2) Driving a commercial passenger vehicle (excluding buses) or a school bus carrying more than the approved passenger capacity but less than 20%, or driving other passenger vehicles carrying more than 20% of the approved passenger capacity, etc.
When it comes to failing to yield to school buses, I've studied traffic regulations thoroughly, and the penalty points are crucial. In China, if a school bus has its stop lights on or displays signs for boarding/alighting students, all vehicles must stop and wait—absolutely no squeezing past. If you violate this rule, traffic police will deduct 3 points from your license and may impose a fine ranging from 200 to 500 RMB. This isn't just about points—it's a safety issue. Think about the children on those buses; failing to stop could lead to accidents and loss of lives. Having driven for many years, I always pay extra attention when encountering school buses at intersections. Why such strict regulations? To prioritize the safety of schoolchildren. Moreover, accumulating 12 penalty points means license suspension, so developing good driving habits is essential. Learning more traffic rules leads to fewer mistakes and greater peace of mind.
