Subject One deduction questions for 1-point, 2-point, 3-point, and 6-point penalties are memorized as follows: 1-point deduction: Failure to use lights as required; failure to yield properly during a meeting situation; vehicle length, width, or height exceeding driving regulations; failure to display a valid inspection sticker or carry a driver's license and vehicle registration. 2-point deduction: Failure to drive or park properly at intersections; answering or making phone calls while driving; failure to wear a seatbelt; overtaking or occupying lanes improperly or cutting in line during slow-moving traffic. 3-point deduction: Driving a passenger vehicle at excessive speed or overloading by less than 20%; driving in the wrong lane or below the minimum speed limit on highways; failure to slow down, stop, or yield to pedestrians at crosswalks; violating prohibitory signs or markings; improper overtaking, yielding, or driving in the wrong direction; failure to use hazard lights or set up warning signs after an accident. 6-point deduction: Running a red light; illegally occupying emergency lanes on highways or urban expressways; failure to yield to school buses; obtaining a driver's license through concealment or deception; driving improperly under low visibility conditions.
When I was preparing for the Subject 1 test, I often got confused by the point-deduction questions, especially the 1-point, 2-point, 3-point, and 6-point penalties. I categorized them based on everyday minor incidents to remember: 1-point penalties are like forgetting to fasten the seatbelt, which is a minor oversight; 2-point penalties are common for violations like illegal overtaking or not using turn signals, representing moderate risk; 3-point penalties mostly involve speeding issues, such as exceeding the speed limit by 10%-20%; 6-point penalties are the most severe, covering major offenses like drunk driving or hit-and-run. I also used a pocketbook to categorize the questions and practiced repeatedly with a question bank app. Reviewing them several times a day helped me memorize them naturally, and my mind was clear during the exam without any mistakes. Actually, this method can also be applied to work and study—categorizing things can save a lot of effort.
I like to make up stories to remember the point deduction rules: Xiao Zhang forgot to fasten his seatbelt when driving out and got penalized 1 point; he forced his way to overtake on the road, losing 2 points; then, in a hurry, he exceeded the speed limit by 20%, adding another 3 points; finally, he was caught drunk driving at a gathering, directly losing all 6 points. This story helps me visually understand the severity of the points: 1 point feels like a minor mistake, 2 points are more dangerous, 3 points for speeding too much, and 6 points for crossing the line. Practicing with mock questions a few times, the more vivid the story, the deeper the memory, and it can also be shared with friends to quiz each other and reinforce the memory.
