Violations that result in 12-point deductions include overloading, among others. Below is a detailed introduction to specific violations that incur a 12-point deduction: 1. Overloading: Operating a commercial passenger vehicle (excluding buses) or school bus with a passenger load exceeding 20% of the approved capacity. 2. Improper vehicle license plates: Driving a motor vehicle on the road without displaying a license plate, or intentionally obscuring, damaging, or failing to install the license plate as required, using forged or altered license plates, vehicle registration certificates, driving licenses, school bus permits, or using other vehicles' license plates or registration certificates. 3. Speeding: Driving a medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicle, school bus, or hazardous material transport vehicle on highways or urban expressways at speeds exceeding 20% above the limit, or on other roads at speeds exceeding 50% above the limit, as well as driving any other motor vehicle at speeds exceeding 50% above the limit. 4. Illegal driving: Reversing, driving against traffic, or making a U-turn across the central divider on highways, or stopping a commercial passenger vehicle in the highway lane.
I remember when I first got my driver's license, I was always worried about violating traffic rules and getting all 12 points deducted. Common violations include drunk driving—exceeding the alcohol limit leads directly to license revocation, which is extremely dangerous; reversing or driving the wrong way on highways, where police enforce strictly, with penalties ranging from point deductions to severe accidents; speeding over 50%, especially easy to do on highways; intentionally covering or forging license plates—some people suffer heavy consequences trying to avoid cameras; driving a vehicle type not permitted by the license, like driving a truck with a Class C license; and hit-and-run accidents, where fleeing after injuring someone not only costs points but also legal trouble. My driving instructor repeatedly emphasized these rules—safe driving ensures safety. Always pay attention to road signs and speed control, regularly review traffic regulations, and avoid causing travel disruptions.
