What are the consequences of deducting 11 points from a C1 driver's license?
3 Answers
C1 driver's license deducting 11 points (less than 12 points) will have no consequences as long as the fine is paid, and the demerit points will be cleared. The following is an introduction about C1 driver's license: 1. Definition: C1 driver's license is one of the codes for motor vehicle driver's licenses. The permitted driving level of C1 driver's license includes (all models of C2, C3, C4) small and micro passenger cars, light and micro trucks, and light, small, and micro special operation vehicles. 2. Driving requirements: According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses", the permitted driving range of C1 driver's license is small and micro passenger cars, light and micro trucks.
After driving for so many years, I've seen quite a few guys who got 11 demerit points. It's not too bad but pretty close to the edge. Just one point away from 12, and the traffic police will notify you to attend a seven-day safety course, learning traffic regulations and such. Your license isn't suspended yet, but the warning is serious—it's meant to make you remember not to violate the rules again. Fines must be dealt with promptly, or they'll increase when renewing your license. If you reach 12 points, your license will be suspended, and you'll have to retake the written test (subject one), which can delay work and affect insurance rates. I once had a friend who ignored his 11 points, ran a red light for one more point, and had to retake the test, wasting a whole month. Driving slower and using navigation to monitor speed limits can prevent these hassles. The demerit system is really there to teach us that safety comes first.
I'm a new driver who just got my C1 license last year, and I already got 11 points deducted, which scared me to death. Two speeding tickets plus crossing the line added up quickly, nearly maxing out my points. As a consequence, I had to attend a seven-day safety training course—working during the day and studying at night was exhausting. I was lucky not to have my license suspended, but one more point to reach 12 would've meant retaking the test. I installed a points-checking app to monitor my score closely, terrified of making another mistake. Fines must be paid on time, or they double and could even affect the annual inspection. The demerit points also raised my car insurance premiums. Now, I drive much more carefully, avoiding things like running red lights. Young drivers, don’t chase speed—steady driving is the key.
