What happens if you get 12 penalty points during the probationary period?
2 Answers
Getting 12 penalty points during the probationary period will result in the revocation of your driver's license. Article 69 of Order No. 123 stipulates: If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 penalty points during the probationary period, the driving qualification for the probationary license type will be revoked. If the revoked driving qualification is not for the highest permitted license type, the driving qualification for the highest permitted license type will also be revoked. Drivers holding A1, A2, A3, B1, or B2 license types who accumulate more than 6 but less than 12 penalty points within the one-year probationary period will have their probationary period extended by one year. If they again accumulate more than 6 but less than 12 penalty points during the extended probationary period, the driving qualification for the probationary license type will also be revoked.
I just got my driver's license not long ago when this happened. Accumulating 12 penalty points during the probation period is really a big trouble. I was fined for speeding and running a red light, and once the points added up to 12, the DMV notified me that my license was directly revoked, and I had to redo the driving training and tests. The whole process was quite exhausting: first, I had to enroll in a driving school for training, wait for the arrangement of theory and road tests, and if I failed once, I had to do it all over again. I regretted it so much and now I think driving requires extra caution. The rules during the probation period are particularly strict—points can’t accumulate, so it's better to deal with them early. The key is to control your foot and not step on the gas too hard. Obeying traffic signals is fundamental. When it comes to driving, safety comes first. Learning well during the probation period will make things easier in the future—don’t be careless like me.
