What are the tips for point deduction questions in Subject One?

[OMatteo]

There are many types of point deduction questions in Subject One. The following is a detailed introduction to point deduction questions in Subject One: 1. Deduct 1 point at a time: Driving a motor vehicle without a driver's license, not using lights as required, driving on the road with the door open, not meeting or reversing as required, not wearing a seat belt, passenger vehicles and cargo vehicles not driving as required, deduct 1 point at a time. 2. Deduct 2 points at a time: Overtaking in narrow road sections and fatigued driving of motor vehicles, answering phone calls or playing with mobile phones while driving a motor vehicle, illegally towing faulty vehicles, violating road signs and markings, not driving at low speed at intersections, not yielding to pedestrians, deduct two points at a time.

Recently while preparing for the Subject 1 test, I found that point-deduction questions aren't actually that difficult—the key is mastering more techniques. I use some mnemonics to memorize them, like '1, 2, 5, 6, 12' representing common point deductions: 1 point for minor violations like not wearing a seatbelt or failing to display an inspection sticker, 2 points for actions like using a phone while driving, 5 points for speeding 20%-50% over the limit, 6 points for running a red light or occupying the emergency lane, and 12 points for the most serious offenses like drunk driving or forging license plates. Practicing mock questions is essential—I use a mobile app to do several sets daily, and for wrong answers, I repeat them until memorized. Also, pay attention to updates in traffic laws, as many point deductions have become stricter now, such as speeding over 50% resulting in an immediate 12-point deduction. Thinking about real driving experiences helps you stay safer on the road, stay relaxed during the test, and score higher.

As an experienced driver, I believe the key to scoring deduction questions lies in understanding the logic rather than rote memorization. Look at the traffic regulation standards: minor violations deduct 1-3 points, such as not wearing a helmet; moderate ones like speeding 20%-50% deduct 6 points; high-risk ones like drunk driving or hit-and-run deduct 12 points. I recommend practicing with card categorization, listing different types for comparative memorization. Focus on reinforcing high-frequency test points such as running a red light (6 points) and drunk driving (12 points). Use apps for mock exams to train your test-taking skills, spending 10-20 minutes daily on practice questions. During the exam, skip difficult questions first and revisit them later. This approach not only saves time but also helps develop habits to avoid fines in actual driving.

The penalty point questions in Subject 1 exam are easy to stumble on. My trick is to memorize by comparison and practice repeatedly. A common mistake is misremembering phone use as a 2-point penalty when it's actually 3 points. Summarized in a chart: minor violations like not wearing a seatbelt are 1 point; medium-risk ones like running a red light are 6 points; serious offenses like drunk driving are 12 points. Prioritize high-frequency questions—app question banks update quickly—aim for an error rate below 5%. Don’t try to cover everything; focus on weak spots, like drilling 6-point penalties for a few days, and you’ll see immediate improvement.
