Violations resulting in 6 points deduction include: 1. Driving a motor vehicle during the period when the motor vehicle driver's license is temporarily suspended; 2. Driving a motor vehicle in violation of traffic signal lights; 3. Driving a commercial passenger vehicle or school bus with passengers exceeding the approved capacity by less than 20%, or driving other passenger vehicles with passengers exceeding the approved capacity by more than 20%; 4. Driving medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicles, school buses, or hazardous material transport vehicles on highways or urban expressways exceeding the speed limit by less than 20%; 5. Driving medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicles, school buses, or hazardous material transport vehicles on roads other than highways or urban expressways, or driving other motor vehicles exceeding the speed limit by more than 20% but less than 50%; 6.

I was deducted 6 points last time for being caught speeding. Actually, violations that result in a 6-point deduction are quite common: exceeding the speed limit by more than 20% but less than 50% on highways, or more than 50% on regular roads will definitely cost you 6 points; using a phone while driving is clearly captured; running a red light is an instant 6 points with no room for negotiation. Other dangerous behaviors like driving in the emergency lane or illegal parking on highways also start with a 6-point deduction. Special reminder: trucks overloaded by more than 30% or passenger vehicles carrying more than the allowed number of passengers will also result in a 6-point deduction. Accumulating more than 12 points means you'll have to retake the theory test (Subject 1), so everyone should be extra cautious about these high-risk behaviors.
A friend just complained on WeChat about losing 6 points on their license. After checking, these types of violations mainly involve dangerous driving behaviors: driving over guide lines on highways or failing to yield to school buses as required will result in a 6-point deduction; trucks transporting hazardous materials without warning signs will also be penalized. In the city, making a U-turn over double yellow lines or driving against traffic, if caught on camera, will similarly cost 6 points. Not using fog lights in rainy conditions or using high beams in low visibility is also considered a traffic violation. Recently, a new rule was added for watching videos while driving—getting caught staring at your phone to browse short videos will precisely deduct 6 points.
