How to Handle After 9 Points Deducted from Class B License?
2 Answers
After 9 points are deducted from a Class B license, the driver must participate in a review within 30 days after the scoring cycle ends, which includes no less than 3 hours of study. Below is more relevant information: 1. Regulations regarding driver's licenses: Deducting points from a driver's license is a penalty for traffic violations. Depending on the severity of the traffic violation, points deducted can range from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 12 per violation. The scoring cycle is one inspection period. If a driver accumulates 12 points in one cycle, they lose their driving qualification. Typically, they must undergo no less than 7 days of traffic safety education and pass an exam before their driving qualification can be restored. 2. Circumstances leading to license downgrade: (1) Being involved in a traffic accident resulting in death and bearing equal or greater responsibility without constituting a crime. (2) Accumulating 12 points in one scoring cycle. (3) Failing to participate in the review for three consecutive scoring cycles.
Losing 9 points is really risky. As a truck driver for many years, I know that once your points get close to 12, it could be game over at any moment. You need to start driving carefully right away: no speeding, no running red lights, memorize the traffic rules, and check your mirrors frequently. I recommend downloading the Traffic Management 12123 App—it alerts you to violations and makes it easy to check your records. Also, take some time to review the driver’s manual, focusing on common point deductions like fatigued driving or lane violations. Attend a local traffic safety lecture on the weekend to exchange tips with experienced drivers. If you hit 12 points, you’ll have to complete a 7-day full-point training and retake the written test, which is time-consuming and costly. For the long term, installing a dashcam is also practical to reduce disputes. Bottom line: safety first—don’t let these points become the straw that breaks the camel’s back.
