How to Handle 6 Points Deducted from a B2 License?
4 Answers
B2 license with 6 points deducted needs to be handled differently based on the situation: 1. If the driver's license is in the formal period: Timely handle the traffic violation information and pay the fine within the current scoring cycle. 2. If the driver's license is in the probationary period: The penalty will be slightly more severe. In addition to handling the traffic violation information and paying the fine promptly, the probationary period will be extended by one year. If during the extended probationary period, another 6 to 12 points are deducted, the probationary driving license for the permitted vehicle type will be revoked. 3. Others: Additionally, within 30 days after the end of the current scoring cycle, the B2 driver's license holder must undergo a review at the traffic management department of the public security authority and participate in no less than 3 hours of study on road traffic safety laws and regulations, safe and civilized driving, emergency handling, etc., as well as receive traffic accident case warning education. A B2 license allows driving large trucks, with permitted vehicles including heavy and medium-duty trucks; heavy and medium-duty special operation vehicles.
A while ago, my Class B2 license was also deducted 6 points because I was caught for overloading. Handling it wasn’t too difficult—mainly a three-step process: First, go to the vehicle management office to clear the violation and pay any fines; then, you must attend a safety education session, which takes about three hours, covering traffic laws and safe driving knowledge; finally, make sure to complete these steps within 30 days before the end of the scoring cycle. A special reminder for those in the probationary period: getting 6 points deducted will extend your probation by one year, so extra caution is needed when driving. I just finished the safety session last week—it involved watching accident case videos and listening to traffic police lectures, with no test but mandatory sign-out. I recommend using the "Traffic Management 12123" app to check the learning location and bringing your driver’s license and original ID card. Driving heavy vehicles isn’t easy, so from now on, I’ll double-check the load weight and never cut corners by overloading again.
I just got my B2 license half a year ago and already got 6 points deducted for running a red light caught by traffic cameras. As a new driver, I panicked and immediately asked a friend at the traffic police team how to handle it. He said the most crucial thing is to attend the safety education on time, which is now booked online and attended offline, with three hours of content mainly watching accident warning videos and learning about defensive driving. For those in the probationary period, note that deducting 6 points will extend the probation, and it might even affect professional qualifications. The ticket must be paid within the scoring cycle, otherwise late fees will be charged. Last month at the DMV, I noticed many drivers got points deducted for speeding during the education session. The instructor repeatedly emphasized that large vehicles have bigger blind spots, requiring extra caution when starting and stopping. It's advised to complete the education session early and not wait until the cycle is about to end.
After deducting 6 points, the most important thing is to attend safety education promptly. Holders of a B2 driver's license must complete a three-hour study session at the DMV, otherwise, the point deduction process will be delayed. If 6 points are deducted during the probationary period, the probationary period will be extended by 12 months, affecting career development. The study content usually includes accident video analysis and traffic regulation explanations, with check-in and check-out required throughout. Recommended handling sequence: first pay all fines, then schedule the study time (can be booked via mobile app), and bring the necessary documents to attend. Also, check for any other unprocessed violations to avoid further point deductions. For example, failing to yield to pedestrians when turning may deduct 2 points, and speeding over 20% will deduct 6 points—these details must be noted. Subsequent driving should pay more attention to road signs, especially when driving trucks through school zones, be sure to slow down.
