What Happens When Points Are Deducted from an A2E Driver's License?
2 Answers
If the points deducted from an A2E driver's license do not reach twelve, the driver only needs to handle the traffic violation at the vehicle management office. If twelve points are deducted, the traffic management department of the public security authority will confiscate the driver's license. The driver must attend a training session at the traffic management department within fifteen days and take an exam. If the exam is passed, the points will be cleared, and the driver's license will be returned. If the exam is failed, the driver must continue attending training and retake the exam. Below are common traffic violations: Running a Red Light: Running a red light is the most common traffic violation. Since the introduction of the new traffic regulations, running a red light results in an immediate deduction of 6 points. Driving Without a License: If a driver continues to drive while their license is suspended, they will be fined and detained for 15 days. Driving without a license or driving with a revoked license will result in 15 days of detention and a fine. Overloading or Overcrowding: For passenger vehicles exceeding the rated capacity by less than 20% or freight vehicles exceeding the rated load by less than 30%, a fine will be imposed. If passenger vehicles exceed the rated capacity by 20% or freight vehicles exceed the rated load by 30%, a fine will also be imposed. Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol: Driving under the influence of alcohol will result in a 3-month suspension of the driver's license and a fine. Driving a commercial vehicle under the influence of alcohol will also result in a 3-month suspension of the driver's license and a fine. Speeding: If a vehicle exceeds the maximum speed limit by 50%, the driver will be fined and have their license revoked.
When my C2 driver's license was deducted a few points last time, I realized this was no small matter. Points accumulate, and with a base of 12 points in total, if they’re all deducted, you have to retake traffic regulations classes and pass an exam before you can drive again—time-consuming, labor-intensive, and costly. Common violations like speeding or running a red light can deduct 6 points at once, adding up quickly. What’s worse, accumulating too many points can affect insurance, potentially increasing premiums by hundreds, raising long-term driving costs. I used to be careless, but now I’m extra cautious, reminding myself to follow the rules every trip—safety comes first, and accidents benefit no one. After years of driving, my deepest takeaway is: Deducted points aren’t just penalties; they’re a responsibility to your own and others’ safety.
