I just got my C1 driver's license not long ago and ran into trouble—I ran a red light and got 6 points deducted. That's when I realized the demerit point system is quite strict. A C1 license has a total of 12 points, and traffic violations will result in point deductions: for example, running a red light deducts 6 points, speeding over 50% deducts 6 points, and speeding between 10-50% deducts 3 points. Drunk driving or driving without a license directly deducts all 12 points, and reaching the limit means having to retake the course and exam, which is time-consuming, costly, and affects safety. New drivers like me are prone to making mistakes under stress, so remember to practice more and familiarize yourself with traffic rules. Also, daily minor violations like not wearing a seatbelt deduct 2 points, and crossing solid lines deducts 3 points—these small mistakes add up and pose greater risks. I recommend downloading a traffic violation query app to regularly check your record and avoid wasting money and feeling anxious like I did. In short, safe driving is the priority—don't let demerit points come knocking.
