B1 and B2 licenses with 12 penalty points will be directly downgraded to C1 licenses. Legal provisions regarding driver's license downgrading: Article 78 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" stipulates that drivers holding licenses for large buses, tractors, urban buses, medium-sized buses, or large trucks shall have their highest permitted driving qualification revoked by the vehicle management office and be notified to complete the downgrade and license replacement procedures within 30 days under any of the following circumstances: (1) being involved in a traffic accident resulting in death and bearing equal or greater responsibility without constituting a crime; (2) accumulating 12 penalty points within one scoring cycle; (3) failing to participate in the inspection for three consecutive scoring cycles. Consequences of not completing the downgrade procedures: If the driver fails to complete the downgrade and license replacement procedures within the specified time, the vehicle management office shall announce the revocation of the permitted driving qualification. After completing the downgrade procedures, the driver must not have accumulated 12 penalty points in the current scoring cycle and the most recent scoring cycle before applying to reinstate the revoked driving qualification, and must not have been involved in any traffic accident resulting in death with equal or greater responsibility.
