What is the maximum number of points that can be deducted during the probationary period?
2 Answers
Here is an introduction to the maximum number of points that can be deducted during the probationary period: 1. For Class A and B driver's licenses, it is best not to accumulate more than 6 points during the probationary period. 2. For Class C driver's licenses, never accumulate 12 points during the probationary period, meaning the maximum is 11 points. 3. Drivers holding licenses for large buses (A1), tractor trailers (A2), city buses (A3), medium-sized buses (B1), or large trucks (B2) who accumulate more than 6 points but fewer than 12 points during the one-year probationary period will have their probation extended by one year. Additional information: According to Article 79 of the Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses: (1) If a driver accumulates 12 points for traffic violations during the probationary period, their probationary driving qualification for the corresponding vehicle type will be revoked. (2) If the revoked driving qualification is not for the highest permitted vehicle type, the driver's highest permitted vehicle type qualification will also be revoked as per the first paragraph of Article 78.
Back when I was still in my probationary period, I drove very carefully because I knew I could only accumulate a maximum of 12 penalty points. If I reached that limit, my provisional license would be revoked, and I'd have to retake both the written and road tests—what a hassle that would be. I've seen a friend who got 12 points for speeding and ended up wasting several months. New drivers during probation lack experience and are prone to mistakes, like accidentally running a red light or not staying in their lane, which could lead to serious accidents. I recommend that new drivers familiarize themselves with routes in advance, check their vehicle's condition, and frequently use rearview mirrors and speed limit alerts on navigation systems. Developing good habits can help you smoothly navigate the probationary period—fewer penalty points mean greater safety. Don’t forget to practice parking more often when stopped to reduce the risk of scratches and dents.
