How to Handle 12 Points Deducted on a C1 Driver's License?

[KeiraMarie]

If you accumulate 12 penalty points within a single scoring cycle, you are required to attend a five-day educational program. You must retake the subject one exam, and only upon passing can you retrieve your driver's license and have the points cleared. If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 points within a scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security authority shall confiscate their motor vehicle driver's license.

A while ago, my C1 driver's license was deducted a full 12 points, leaving me feeling anxious. I immediately went to the traffic police station to handle the matter, and they arranged for me to attend a 7-day traffic safety regulations training course. From 9 AM to 5 PM each day, I had to sit in the classroom listening to lectures covering many details like speeding and drunk driving. During the training period, I wasn't allowed to drive, so I had to take taxis or buses to and from work, which was quite inconvenient. After completing the course, I immediately took the theoretical exam for Subject 1, which consisted of multiple-choice and true/false questions. Before the exam, I spent several hours at home practicing with the question bank, and fortunately, I passed on the first attempt. After passing, my points were reset to zero, and my license was restored to normal. If I had failed, I would have had to undergo another 7 days of training and possibly pay a fine of several hundred yuan. This incident reminded me that I can't afford to be careless next time—I need to drive more responsibly.

My son just encountered this issue - his C1 driver's license got 12 penalty points, and I need to help him resolve it. The procedure is to first go to the traffic police station to accept the penalty. They'll issue a study notice and arrange a 7-day traffic regulations course. He'll need to make time to attend classes every day where instructors teach basic rules and safety knowledge - he should listen attentively and take notes. After completing the course, he must take the subject one exam which tests traffic regulations and theory, so reviewing the question bank beforehand is crucial. Passing the exam will restore his license, but failing means retaking the course and exam, plus it affects insurance premiums. This process creates significant stress for young people, so it's best to handle it early to avoid disrupting work and life. I advised him to drive more carefully in the future.

If you get 12 penalty points on a C1 driver's license, you have to attend a week-long traffic regulations course. That's exactly what I did last time. You register for the training class at the traffic police department, attend fixed hours of lectures every day covering driving rules and safety knowledge. After completion, you take the theoretical exam (Subject 1). Memorizing some question banks will help you pass. Passing clears the points, while failing means retaking the course plus a fine. Don't procrastinate - handle it early to avoid complications.
