Is it acceptable to have one point left on a C1 driver's license?

[SawyerLynn]

Yes, it is acceptable. However, all fines for the previous 11 points must be paid in full. Here is the relevant information: According to Order No. 139 of the Ministry of Public Security of the People's Republic of China: 1. The 'Decision of the Ministry of Public Security on Amending the Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses' has been approved at the executive meeting of the Minister of Public Security and is hereby promulgated, effective from April 1, 2016. 2. Article 69: If a motor vehicle driver's accumulated demerit points in a scoring cycle do not reach 12 points, and all fines have been paid, the demerit points will be cleared; if the demerit points do not reach 12 points but there are unpaid fines, the demerit points will be carried over to the next scoring cycle.
