How to complete the 6-point demerit online course for driver's license?
3 Answers
Drivers without any single 6-point demerit record or with only one single 6-point demerit record can directly complete the 7-day safe and civilized driving course online. Drivers with two or more single 6-point demerits or a full 12-point demerit must first register at the municipal vehicle management office and complete one day of on-site learning before proceeding with the remaining 6 days of online study. The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" are introduced as follows: 1. Introduction 1: When a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 demerit points within one scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall detain their motor vehicle driver's license. The driver shall, within 15 days, report to the traffic management department of the public security organ at the place where the driver's license was issued or where the violation occurred to participate in a seven-day study of road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. 2. Introduction 2: After the motor vehicle driver completes the study, the vehicle management office shall, within 20 days, conduct a test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. If the test is passed, the demerit points will be cleared, and the motor vehicle driver's license will be returned. If the test is failed, the driver must continue the study and retake the test. Those who refuse to participate in the study or accept the test will have their motor vehicle driver's license suspended by the traffic management department of the public security organ. 3. Introduction 3: If a motor vehicle driver has two or more instances of reaching 12 points or accumulates 24 or more points within one scoring cycle, the vehicle management office shall also conduct a road driving skills test within 10 days after passing the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test. The road driving skills test shall be conducted according to the highest permissible vehicle type indicated on the driver's license.
Last time I had 6 points deducted, I used the Traffic Management 12123 app to study. Open the app and find the 'Study to Reduce Points' entry on the homepage, then complete the real-name authentication as required. Choose the online learning method, and the system will automatically push a 30-minute video course—make sure to watch it without switching to other apps. After watching, take the exam; you need to answer 18 out of 20 questions correctly to pass. There’s no limit to the number of attempts, but each round can only reduce 1 point, so 6 points require 6 exams. Remember to keep the camera on throughout, as the system records your face—my friend was flagged as invalid for looking down at their phone. There must be a 24-hour gap between each study session, so you’ll need to schedule it consecutively. This method suits those with flexible time, but the key is to have the patience to watch those traffic rule videos repeatedly.
Now it's very convenient to study online after getting points deducted from your driver's license. Just open the 12123 app to proceed. You'll need to prepare your ID card and driver's license information, complete the authentication, and then select the 'Study to Reduce Points' module. I recommend choosing the program with the shortest study duration, usually 30 minutes of watching accident case videos, but you must stay focused throughout without minimizing the window. The test questions are slightly easier than the subject one exam, but the questions are randomly drawn from a pool—it took me four attempts to accumulate enough for a 6-point reduction. You can only apply for one study session per day, with a maximum reduction of 1 point per session, so it's safer to complete it in batches over the month. Most importantly, avoid any traffic violations during the study period, or you'll lose eligibility. Remember to clear your phone's memory in advance to ensure the app runs smoothly.
