How to Handle Points Deduction for B1 Driver's License?
3 Answers
For those with a B1 driver's license who have accumulated fewer than 12 points, simply paying the fine is sufficient. Those who have accumulated 12 points or more are required to retake the theoretical exam (Subject 1) and pass it to have the points cleared. Below is a brief introduction to driver's licenses: 1. Full Name: Driver's License (full name: Motor Vehicle Driver's License), also known as a 'driving license.' It is a document issued by the government's transportation department to individuals who meet the driving qualifications, typically in the form of a card. 2. Requirements: To obtain a driver's license, one must meet the minimum age requirement and pass the driving qualification exam. 3. Vehicle Types: The driver's license usually specifies the types of motor vehicles the holder is permitted to drive, such as motorcycles, passenger cars, trucks, buses, etc.
Those who have driven large buses for over a decade know that B1 license point deductions can't be taken lightly. Even just 1 point deducted means you must attend a review study session at the DMV within 30 days after the annual scoring cycle ends. The study mainly covers traffic regulations and safe driving knowledge, lasting about three hours. If you reach 12 points, it's serious trouble - you'll have to retake the written test (Subject 1) to get your license back. The policy has relaxed a bit now - through the Traffic Management 12123 app, you can reduce points by studying laws, with quizzes and videos allowing up to 6 points to be cleared. I've used this method and it really works. But remember, exceeding 12 points will directly downgrade your license to C1, meaning you can't drive large vehicles anymore. So when transporting goods or passengers, pay extra attention to speed limits and traffic restriction signs.
Last year, my younger brother got 3 points deducted and thoroughly researched the B1 driver's license handling process. First, check the 12123 APP to confirm the point deduction status, and within one month after the cycle ends, you must attend an on-site study session. Just bring your driver's license and ID card for the study session, which involves watching warning videos and taking in-class tests. However, some places now offer online learning, saving time. At that time, he also participated in 'learning the law to reduce points,' spending three hours watching videos to reduce 2 points. The key is not to accumulate points: 12 points will downgrade to a C license, and 24 points require an additional subject three test. Usually, I teach him to avoid rushing yellow lights and not crossing lines, as safety comes first when driving a minibus.
