What are the consequences of getting points deducted on a B2 driver's license?
2 Answers
B2 point deductions do not have any special impact as long as the traffic violations are promptly handled. However, if 6 points are deducted during the probationary period, the probationary period will be extended. Additionally, a B2 driver's license with point deduction records requires participation in an inspection. Below are the detailed explanations: 1. Point deduction handling: If a motor vehicle driver's points within a scoring cycle do not reach 12, and the imposed fines have been paid, the points will be cleared; if the points do not reach 12 but there are still unpaid fines, the points will carry over to the next scoring cycle. 2. 6 points deducted during probation: For drivers holding licenses for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, or large trucks, if they accumulate 6 or more points (but less than 12) within the one-year probationary period, the probationary period will be extended by one year. 3. Inspection: Drivers holding licenses for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, or large trucks must report to the traffic management department of the public security authority for inspection within thirty days after the end of each scoring cycle. However, if there are no point deduction records within a scoring cycle, the inspection for that cycle is exempted.
As a truck driver with ten years of experience, I have to say that getting demerit points on a B2 license is no trivial matter. Once you violate traffic rules, such as speeding or getting caught for drunk driving, points are deducted, and accumulating 12 points leads directly to license revocation. This means you temporarily can't drive and must spend time and money to retake courses and pass exams to reinstate your license. I've seen people lose their jobs over this, especially those of us who rely on driving to support our families. Even minor infractions require attending traffic safety lectures, which take up half a day. The most frustrating part is having it on record—insurance companies see it and hike up your premiums, which hurts financially. For prevention, I recommend developing good habits: no reckless lane changes, no fatigued driving, and prioritizing safety to avoid these troubles. After all, demerit points aren't just penalties; they're warnings about risks, helping reduce accidents and protect everyone's safety. In this line of work long-term, responsibility is key.
