How to handle 8 points deducted from a B2 driver's license?

A B2 driver's license with 8 points deducted: If the license is in the probationary period, the probationary period will be extended by one year. If 6 or more points (but less than 12 points) are recorded again during the extended probationary period, the driving qualification for the probationary vehicle type will be revoked. If the B2 driver's license is already out of the probationary period, the holder must report to the traffic management department of the public security authority within 30 days after the end of the scoring cycle for verification. During verification, they must participate in no less than three hours of study and examination. Any traffic violations must be resolved before verification. Below are precautions for using a driver's license: 1. Driver's licenses have a validity period: A driver's license is only valid for legal road use within its validity period. Driving with an expired license without renewal is illegal. 2. Avoid accumulating 12 points within 12 months: A driver's license has 12 points to deduct within 12 months. It is crucial to avoid accumulating 12 points within this period; otherwise, the holder must attend study sessions at the local vehicle management office and pass an exam. If the exam is not passed, the holder must retake it until passing before the license can be reclaimed.
If you've got 8 points deducted from your driving license, handle it promptly—don't wait until you max out the points to panic. As a truck driver with over 20 years of experience, I've faced similar issues. First, grab your phone, open the Traffic Management 12123 app, and check why the points were deducted—it might be for speeding or running a red light. Then, take an online traffic safety education course; completing the required hours can reduce your points by one or two—I’ve used this trick myself. Next, adjust your driving habits: check for fatigue before hitting the road each day, and avoid reckless overtaking on highways. Avoid accumulating more points within the year, or you’ll have to retake the theory exam (Section 1), which is time-consuming and costly. Safety comes first—remember the rules, drive carefully, and you’ll protect both your points and your life.
