2 Answers
If a novice C1 driver has 6 points deducted during the probationary period, they should promptly address the traffic violation. What is a C1 Driver's License: A C1 driver's license is one of the codes for motor vehicle driving licenses. Age Requirement: The minimum age to apply for a C1 driver's license is 18 years old, with no upper age limit. However, applicants aged 70 and above must pass tests on memory, judgment, and reaction abilities. C1 Driver's License Vehicle Class Regulations: The permitted driving scope for a C1 license includes small and micro passenger vehicles, as well as light and micro cargo vehicles; light, small, and micro special operation vehicles; small passenger vehicles with seating capacity of 9 or fewer. Vehicles Not Permitted with a C1 License: Large buses, tractors, city buses, medium buses, large trucks, regular three-wheeled motorcycles, regular two-wheeled motorcycles, light motorcycles, wheeled self-propelled machinery vehicles, trolleybuses, and trams. Additionally, a C1 license holder cannot drive vehicles with more than 9 seats or trucks exceeding 6 meters in total length.
As a veteran driver with over a decade of experience, seeing a novice lose six points reminds me of my own youthful mistakes. Don't panic too much when dealing with it—you still have six points left during your probationary period, and there's room for remedy. First, promptly bring your driver's license and ID to the traffic management bureau to check the specific violation record, such as whether it was caused by running a red light or speeding. Then, pay the fine either online or at the counter. After settling the fine, it's best to enroll in a safety education course to reinforce traffic rules and avoid repeating mistakes. Drive more carefully in daily life—watch traffic signals, avoid using your phone, and maintain a steady speed. Losing all twelve points will result in your license being revoked, requiring you to retake the theoretical exam, which is a real hassle. Gradually develop good habits, and you'll become more and more steady behind the wheel.
