Is Study Required for 11 Demerit Points?

[VonNolan]

C-class driver's license holders do not need to attend study sessions for 11 demerit points. Article 59 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses': If a motor vehicle driver's demerit points in a scoring cycle do not reach 12, and the imposed fines have been paid, the demerit points will be cleared; if the demerit points do not reach 12 but there are unpaid fines, the demerit points will carry over to the next scoring cycle. Article 58 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses': If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 demerit points in a scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall detain their motor vehicle driver's license.

When it comes to points deducted from a driver's license, I always pay extra attention while driving. Whether you need to attend a refresher course for 11 points deducted depends on the situation. First, you must be clear about your license type. For a Class C license (for small vehicles), 11 points deducted do not require immediate attendance at a course, but you must be extremely careful not to violate any more traffic rules, because one more point would total 12, and then you'd have to attend a seven-day traffic regulation course and retake the written test. However, for Class A or B licenses (for large vehicles), it's different—any deduction of more than 1 point requires attending an annual review course, which is at least three hours long. So, with 11 points deducted, you definitely have to attend. The rules may vary slightly by region, so it's best to check with the local DMV for specifics. Ultimately, the best practice is to always obey traffic rules while driving.

My friend just got 11 points deducted last month and nervously asked me what to do. I specifically checked the traffic regulations for him. For an ordinary private car driver's license, 11 points deducted indeed don't require attending classes for now, but you have to drive as carefully as walking with eggs in your hands at this point, because getting caught for another violation would reach the 12-point threshold. Then the trouble would be huge—not only would you have to pay to retake the written test, but you also couldn't drive during the study period. For friends driving trucks or buses, even 1 point deducted means you have to go to the learning center for classes and facial recognition check-ins, so 11 points would definitely require it. I recommend checking the point status on the 12123 APP and not delaying any required classes.

From my understanding, whether 11 demerit points on a driving license require attending a study course mainly depends on the license type. For holders of Class C small vehicle licenses, 11 points within a scoring cycle do not mandate compulsory study, but they must be cautious not to incur further demerits. However, for holders of Class AB large/medium passenger or freight vehicle licenses, according to the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses', any demerit record within a scoring cycle requires participation in a review study session of no less than three hours. Regardless of the license type, 11 demerit points indicate a high driving risk, and proactively participating in online traffic safety education can be very beneficial for safe driving.

I remember studying this carefully last year when I was continuously penalized with points. Whether 11 demerit points on a driver's license require retraining depends mainly on whether it's a Class A or B license. Friends driving large trucks or buses should note that even 1 point triggers mandatory retraining through verification education, which affects license renewal. For regular car licenses, 11 points don't currently force retraining, but it's already a red alert: one more mistake reaching 12 points means not only attending traffic management courses and tests but also temporary license suspension. Strongly recommend not waiting until 12 points - many regions now offer online learning platforms where proactive training can even offset points.

I specifically asked a traffic police friend about this issue. For ordinary private car owners, deducting 11 points does not currently require mandatory education, which can be considered a stroke of luck amidst misfortune. But don't celebrate too soon—this score means you're just one step away from the maximum limit. If you commit another violation and reach the full 12 points, you'll have to attend a seven-day traffic regulation course and pass the exam to get your license back. Drivers of commercial vehicles need to be even more cautious, as their license management regulations are much stricter. Deducting 11 points will definitely trigger the education requirement, and they must complete a three-hour educational course on time. In any case, getting 11 points deducted should prompt reflection on driving habits.
