What are the consequences of getting 6 points deducted on a Class B driver's license?

Participation in educational training is required. According to the new regulations for a Class B1 driver's license with 6 points deducted, within 30 days after the end of the current scoring cycle, the individual must present their driver's license, ID card, and health certificate to the vehicle management office to undergo the driver's license review process. They are also required to complete no less than three hours of safety education training. Below is a brief introduction about the Class B1 license: Permitted Vehicle Types: The Class B1 license allows driving medium-sized passenger vehicles (including urban buses with a capacity of 10 to 19 people). Other permitted vehicle types include those allowed by C1, C2, C3, C4, and M licenses. Examination Requirements: Applicants must have held a Class C1 license for at least three years and be between the ages of 21 and 50. To apply for an upgrade to a Class B1 license, the applicant must not have any record of a full-point (12 points) deduction in the current scoring cycle (this year) or the most recent scoring cycle (last year). The application for the upgrade must be submitted to the vehicle management office in the applicant's registered residence, as regulations stipulate that the upgrade to a Class B1 license can only be processed at the vehicle management office in the driver's registered residence, not at a temporary residence location.
I remember my Class B truck driving license was deducted 6 points last year for being caught speeding. The consequences were significant: I had to attend a 3-hour traffic safety education course at the traffic management office. Although the process was straightforward, it took up half a day of work time, covering traffic rules and accident prevention. Most crucially, these points are recorded in the system. If I accumulate a total of 12 points, my Class B license could be directly downgraded to a Class C or revoked, which would mean losing my livelihood. As someone who depends on driving for a living, this immediately put me on high alert. After completing the course, I’ve become much more cautious while driving. My advice to everyone is that if you get 6 points deducted, don’t take it lightly—go quickly to clear the points through the course and maintain a clean record. Installing a speed limit reminder app can help avoid repeating the same mistake, especially since the rules for Class B licenses are much stricter.
