What are the consequences of deducting 6 points in the first year with a C2 driver's license?

C2 driver's license holders will not be affected by a 6-point deduction during the probationary period. Below is additional information: 1. Detailed explanation: According to Article 79 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," if a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 penalty points for road traffic safety violations during the probationary period, the driving qualification for the probationary vehicle type will be revoked. If the revoked driving qualification is not for the highest permitted vehicle type, the driving qualification for the highest permitted vehicle type shall also be revoked in accordance with the first paragraph of Article 78. 2. Relevant regulations: Drivers holding licenses for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, or large trucks who accumulate more than 6 but fewer than 12 points during the one-year probationary period will have their probationary period extended by one year. If they again accumulate more than 6 but fewer than 12 points during the extended probationary period, their driving qualification for the probationary vehicle type will be revoked.
As a new driver who just obtained a C2 license, I got really nervous after accumulating 6 penalty points during my probation period. Only after checking traffic regulations did I realize this would extend my probation by one year. This means I'll have to drive even more cautiously over the next 12 months and can't afford any major mistakes. If I accumulate another 6 points or more during this extended period, my license will be directly revoked and I'll have to retake the test - what a hassle! My friend reminded me to avoid speeding or illegal parking in urban areas, and not to drive on highways alone without an experienced driver accompanying me, as these situations carry higher risks of penalty points. Now I've started using a dashcam to monitor my driving habits, checking my score weekly on the Traffic 121 App, and even enrolled in a safe driving course to make up points. Overall, this has been a valuable lesson but not the end of the world - the key is correcting mistakes early and developing good habits.
I remember helping a neighbor with a similar situation a few years ago. The main impact of getting 6 points deducted in the first year with a C2 driver's license was the extension of the probation period. This added psychological pressure—new drivers are already unstable, and now they have to endure another year before becoming regular drivers. Insurance costs might increase slightly, and driving instructors also recommend practicing basic operations more, such as parking in reverse and observing at intersections. When I'm driving on the road and see young people being impatient and prone to speeding, I remind them that this score isn't high enough to directly revoke the license, which is fortunate, but they should avoid adding more points or the consequences could be worse. Learning skills like slowing down in rainy weather or reading road signs clearly is crucial. In the long run, developing safety awareness is worth it.
