How to Handle Points Deduction for Class A Driver's License?
2 Answers
If a Class A driver's license has points deducted but the total does not reach 12, the vehicle owner must report to the local traffic police department within 15 days of the violation for processing. Additionally, within 30 days after the end of each scoring cycle, the owner must undergo an inspection and participate in no less than 3 hours of educational training. If the total points deducted reach 12, the license will be downgraded to a Class B license. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Article 24 of the Road Traffic Safety Law stipulates that the traffic management department of public security authorities, in addition to imposing administrative penalties according to the law, implements a cumulative points system for motor vehicle drivers who violate road traffic safety laws and regulations. 2. The traffic management department of public security authorities shall detain the motor vehicle driver's license of drivers whose cumulative points reach the prescribed limit and provide them with education on road traffic safety laws and regulations, requiring them to retake the test. The license will be returned upon passing the test. 3. For motor vehicle drivers who comply with road traffic safety laws and regulations and have no cumulative points within one year, the inspection period of the motor vehicle driver's license may be extended. Specific measures shall be stipulated by the public security department under the State Council.
Oh, got points deducted on your driver's license, huh? I know the drill. Don't panic when handling it. First step is to check the point deduction details via mobile app or by visiting the nearest traffic police station—find out exactly how many points were deducted. Common violations like speeding or running red lights usually incur 2 to 12 penalty points. After checking, promptly pay the fine online or at traffic management counters. If you've hit the 12-point threshold, things get trickier: you'll need to attend a seven-day traffic safety course, study regulations, and pass a final exam to reinstate your license. Throughout the process, remember to drive carefully: no phone use, no speeding, maintain safe following distance—these habits help avoid future penalties. Some veteran drivers also suggest inspecting your vehicle post-deduction (e.g., faulty brake lights might cause misjudgment) to prevent repeat issues. Bottom line: safety first, address it promptly to avoid affecting both your driving mood and personal safety.
