1 Answers
The deduction of points through traffic law learning is not calculated on a daily basis, but rather a maximum of 6 points can be deducted within a scoring cycle. According to Article 5 of the Notice on the Issuance of the "Work Regulations on Reducing Points for Road Traffic Violations through Accepting Traffic Safety Education (Trial)" by the Ministry of Public Security on January 14, 2020 (Public Traffic Management [2020] No. 14): Motor vehicle drivers who apply to participate in traffic safety education to reduce points for traffic violations must participate in corresponding road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge learning, examinations, or traffic safety public welfare activities according to their highest permitted driving license type and meet the relevant requirements to apply for the reduction of traffic violation points. The deduction of points through traffic law learning is a measure for drivers holding a driving license who have been penalized with points due to traffic violations. After participating in online traffic safety learning and passing the examination, the points can be reduced. This is a convenient traffic management measure uniformly deployed by the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security. Function: The deduction of points through traffic law learning is aimed at reducing the existing points on a driving license, not adding points to the license or replacing penalty points for violations. The points obtained for free through this method are used to clear the penalty records. For example, if a violation results in a 6-point penalty, passing the examination can clear these 6 points and start anew. Regulations: The number of points that can be deducted after reducing points through learning depends on how many points the driver had before participating in the learning, but the cumulative penalty points cannot exceed 11. Regardless of participation in the point reduction program, a driving license only has 12 points. The program only reduces existing penalty points and does not increase the total points to 18. Specific precautions are as follows: Applicable group: Motor vehicle drivers who hold a driving license of the People's Republic of China, regardless of the permitted driving license type or whether they are commercial vehicle drivers, can participate in the point reduction program. They must participate in corresponding road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge learning and examinations according to their highest permitted driving license type. Specific rules: Motor vehicle drivers participating in online road traffic laws, regulations, and related content learning must study continuously for 5 minutes each time, accumulate 30 minutes of study time within 3 days, and then register for an examination within 7 days. Passing the examination can reduce 1 point. Drivers can also attend on-site learning, with each session lasting no less than 1 hour. After completing the required study time, they can apply for an examination. Passing the examination can reduce 2 points. Drivers can also participate in offline safety public welfare activities, with each session lasting one hour, reducing 1 point each time. Accumulating 30 minutes of study time within 3 days, with each study session lasting no less than 5 minutes, and passing the examination can reduce 1 point each time. Cases not accepted: The following situations will not be accepted: In the previous scoring cycle, the driver had two or more full-point records. Within a 3-point cycle, the driver was involved in hit-and-run accidents, drunk driving, or the manufacture or alteration of documents or license plates. The driver's license is in the probation period or has not been reviewed on time. The driver has unprocessed traffic violation records. The driver has a motor vehicle with a safety technical inspection that has expired or has not been deregistered as required. The driver has already reduced the maximum of 6 points within the cycle.
