What are the consequences of receiving penalty points on an A1 driver's license?
1 Answers
a1 driver's license holders must attend a 3-hour theoretical study session at the vehicle management office within 15 days after the registration date ends if they receive penalty points. Driver's licenses are categorized into Class A, Class B, and Class C licenses. The cumulative penalty point cycle for road traffic safety violations (i.e., the penalty point cycle) is 12 months, with a maximum of 12 points. If all 12 points are deducted within this cycle, a Class C license will be suspended, requiring the holder to retake the test. For Class A and Class B licenses, the holder must attend a study session. Specific details are as follows: Class A and Class B Licenses: If a Class A or Class B license holder receives any penalty points, even just 1 point, within the penalty point cycle, they must attend a 3-hour theoretical study session at the vehicle management office within 15 days after the registration date ends and provide a physical examination certificate, i.e., annual review, otherwise the driver's license will become invalid and will be revoked after three cycles. This does not apply to receiving 12 points during the probationary period. If 6 points are received during the probationary period, the probationary period will be extended by one year. If 6 points are received consecutively for two years, the license will be directly downgraded. Regardless of the penalty point cycle, receiving 12 points will result in an immediate downgrade. Class C Licenses: If less than 12 points are received within a cycle, the points for a Class C license will be reset to zero, and no study session is required. If all 12 points are deducted within a cycle, the Class C license will be suspended, and the holder must retake the test.
