Holders of a motor vehicle driver's license issued by the People's Republic of China can participate in the "Study to Reduce Points" program. The rules for reducing penalty points through traffic law study are as follows: 1. Drivers who complete online study (accumulating 30 minutes within 3 days) and pass the exam will have 1 point deducted; 2. Drivers who attend on-site study sessions (no less than 1 hour each time) and pass the exam will have 2 points deducted; 3. Drivers who participate in traffic safety public welfare activities (1 hour each time) will have 1 point deducted; 4. There is no limit to the number of times one can participate in "Study to Reduce Points," but once a driver has reduced 6 points within a single scoring cycle, they can no longer continue to participate in the program.

I've been driving for nearly twenty years and have had points deducted multiple times. Later, I found the 'Learn and Reduce Points' rule quite practical: drivers can participate in traffic safety learning and exams on traffic police apps like 12123 three months after receiving penalty points. Passing the exam reduces one point, with a maximum of six points per year, provided there are no records of drunk driving or major accidents. I've used it three times myself—the process is simple: log in to your account, select a course, watch educational videos for about half an hour, practice answering questions, then take the exam. Passing automatically reduces your points. This rule not only eases the pressure of penalty points but also helps review traffic regulations, reminding me to drive more carefully, especially by paying attention to speed limit signs on highways. The entire process is done online, eliminating the hassle of visiting the DMV. I recommend other experienced drivers try it after receiving points, but the core principle remains safety first—avoid violations.

I'm a new driver who just got points deducted shortly after hitting the road, which made me quite anxious. A friend introduced me to the rules of 'Study to Reduce Points': The rule allows you to register for the point reduction feature through official apps like 12123, study designated course videos, and pass an exam to deduct one point. You can accumulate a maximum of six points reduction per year, but you must wait for a period after the points are deducted before applying. I've used it twice, and the process is quick: Open the app, select the course, watch the videos, do the practice questions, and pass the exam to get points deducted. It's very helpful for beginners because you can learn while reducing points, deepening your understanding of traffic rules and avoiding future mistakes. The operation is simple and not complicated, and it can also boost driving confidence. I suggest young drivers not to panic when they get points deducted but to try 'Study to Reduce Points' first.

As a stay-at-home mom, my biggest fear when driving my kids around every day is getting points deducted for traffic violations, which affects safety. The 'Learn to Reduce Points' rule gives me some peace of mind: drivers can take an exam on the official platform to reduce points after being penalized, with one point deducted per attempt but capped at six points per year. I've used the 12123 app to do this—the requirements are simple: no drunk driving record, just study the course materials and pass the exam. This rule encourages everyone to learn traffic regulations to prevent accidents, making travel safer for children. The process doesn’t take much time, and safety always comes first.
