What are the penalties for accumulating 12 penalty points during the probationary period of a driver's license?
2 Answers
If 12 penalty points are accumulated during the probationary period of a driver's license, the driving qualification for the probationary vehicle class will be revoked. If the revoked driving qualification is not for the highest permitted vehicle class, the driving qualification for the highest permitted vehicle class must also be revoked as per regulations. For drivers holding licenses for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, or large trucks, if they accumulate 6 or more penalty points but less than 12 during the one-year probationary period, the probationary period will be extended by one year. If they again accumulate 6 or more penalty points but less than 12 during the extended probationary period, the driving qualification for the probationary vehicle class will be revoked. The full name of the driver's license is the motor vehicle driver's license, also known as a 'driver's license,' which is the required certification for legally operating motor vehicles.
I just got my driver's license last month and specifically checked the probationary period regulations. If you accumulate 12 penalty points within the one-year probationary period, your driving qualification will be directly revoked—it's not as simple as retaking the test. This means you'll have to re-enroll in driving school and retake all four exam sections from scratch, essentially starting over. Moreover, re-enrollment costs around four to five thousand yuan in tuition fees and wastes even more time. A friend of mine lost all 12 points due to speeding and running a red light, and now he's back at driving school every weekend. I recommend that new drivers install a radar detector and GPS navigation to avoid prohibited roads. Illegal parking is also a major point-deducting offense—it's better to circle around a few more times to find a parking spot. Regularly checking your violation records on the traffic management app 12123 is also crucial.
