Is there any difference in the annual review between a B2 driver's license with 6 points deducted and 9 points deducted?
2 Answers
A2 driver's license with 6 points deducted and 9 points deducted, there is no difference in the annual review. The following is the relevant introduction: 1. Order of the Ministry of Public Security of the People's Republic of China: Order No. 139 of the Ministry of Public Security of the People's Republic of China, "Decision of the Ministry of Public Security on Amending the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses'" has been adopted at the executive meeting of the Minister of Public Security and is hereby promulgated, effective from April 1, 2016. Article 71: Holders of large passenger vehicle, tractor, urban bus, medium-sized passenger vehicle, or large truck driver's licenses who have points deducted within a scoring cycle shall participate in no less than three hours of study on road traffic safety laws and regulations, safe and civilized driving, emergency response, and other knowledge during the review, and receive case-based education on traffic accident warnings. 2. Conditions for non-approval: If traffic violations or accidents are not yet resolved, physical conditions do not meet the requirements for driving permits, or the required study, education, and exams are not attended as stipulated, the review will not be approved.
I'm a truck driver with over a decade of experience and have had a few point deductions. There's a significant difference between a 6-point and 9-point deduction on a B2 license during annual review. First, let's talk about a 6-point deduction. For the annual review, you need to go to the vehicle management office for study and testing—usually a half-day training session reviewing traffic rules, followed by a simple test. With a 9-point deduction, you also need to attend the annual review study, but the requirements are stricter. The study duration might be longer, and the examiner will ask more questions about safe driving since you're closer to the 12-point threshold for retaking the test. Last year, I had a 7-point deduction, and the study wasn't too troublesome, but I heard from others that a 9-point deduction can be quite time-consuming. The key is to handle it on time to avoid complications. Additionally, more points can lead to higher insurance premiums, and the record may affect future license renewals. Pay extra attention to speed limits and traffic rules while driving—don't rush for momentary gains. Remember to install a dashcam in your truck; it helps a lot. Check your license points regularly—don't wait until year-end to discover issues. Safety comes first—accidents involving large vehicles can be disastrous. From chatting with fellow drivers, I've learned that with a 6-point deduction, you might still manage, but after a 9-point deduction, people tend to drive much more cautiously.
