How to Handle Points Deduction for A2 Driving License?
2 Answers
If the points deducted from an A2 driving license are less than 12, the driver should promptly pay the fine and, within 30 days after the end of the scoring cycle, report to the traffic management department of the public security authority for verification. During verification, the driver must participate in study sessions and examinations. Any points for which fines have not been paid, even if the total points do not reach 12, will be carried over to the next scoring cycle. If the points deducted from an A2 driving license reach 12, the driver must, within 15 days, attend a seven-day study session on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge at the traffic management department of the public security authority where the motor vehicle driving license was issued or where the violation occurred. Additionally, within 30 days, the driver must apply for a downgrade and license replacement. If the driver fails to complete the downgrade and license replacement within the specified time, the vehicle management office will announce the invalidation of the driving qualification for the corresponding vehicle type.
I just got my A2 driver's license a little over six months ago and accidentally committed a traffic violation that resulted in points being deducted. I panicked a bit. Quickly went online to check the information and found out that after getting points deducted, I first need to confirm the specific point deduction record at the local traffic management department. Once confirmed, I must attend a mandatory traffic safety education course, which could be either online or offline. After completing the course, I have to pass an exam to clear the points. If I accumulate 12 points, the trouble becomes serious—I might have to retake the driver's license test or even face a downgrade. Right now, I’m planning to check the traffic management app weekly to keep track of my point deduction history and take preventive measures early. As a new driver operating large buses, it’s especially important to avoid speeding or illegal lane changes and to develop the habit of paying attention to road signs. Although the process is straightforward, don’t delay—handle it early to avoid affecting work.
