The mnemonic rhyme for penalties in Subject 1 is as follows: 1-point deduction scenarios: No license or improper use of lights, insurance emblem not displayed; improper meeting of vehicles, cargo height and width exceeding limits. 2-point deduction scenarios: Disorderly driving at intersections, overtaking in slow-moving lanes; school bus violating road rules, improper student pickup/drop-off; driving without seatbelt, motorcycle rider without helmet; hazardous phone use, 2-point deduction as warning. 3-point deduction scenarios: Vehicle inspection overdue, driving too slowly on highways; passenger overload below 20%, cargo overload below 30%; prohibited highway entry, commercial vehicles speeding; failing to yield at crosswalks, improper lane usage; unsafe overtaking and reversing, improper trailer towing; failure to warn during breakdowns, violating road signs/markings. 6-point deduction scenarios: Running traffic lights, driving during license suspension; school/coach buses exceeding capacity/speed by <20%; illegal use of emergency lanes, hazardous driving in low visibility; unmarked hazardous materials transport, speeding with dangerous goods; failing to yield to school buses, fraudulent license replacement. 12-point deduction scenarios: Mismatched vehicle license, drunk driving or hit-and-run; school bus overload >20%, highway speeding >20%; passenger/cargo overloading causing fatigue, speeding >50km/h; forged/altered plates/documents, obscured/damaged plates; illegal highway stops, reversing or crossing medians; speeding >50%, unlicensed school bus operation.
After years of driving, I've summarized a practical penalty mnemonic: 'Running a red light deducts six points, drunk driving costs twelve points at once; speeding over fifty deducts six points, not wearing a seatbelt records two points and can't be avoided. Fatigued driving is equally dangerous, starting with a six-point deduction, so everyone must be extra cautious while driving.' Memorizing this mnemonic helped me pass the subject one test with ease, and more importantly, it helps avoid risks in daily driving. Remember, the mnemonic isn't just for the test but serves as a reminder to prioritize safety and not let a moment of negligence ruin a lifetime. Developing good habits is far better than making amends afterward.
Just passed the subject one test, I'd like to share a mnemonic: 'Red light 6 points, drunk driving 12; speeding over 50% deducts 6 points; illegal parking fines 2 points, fatigued driving also deducts 6.' This concise and memorable rhyme helped me ace the exam. During practice, I associated it with real scenarios, like imagining stopping at a red light or the horror of losing my license for drunk driving. Though brief, it covers common violations—reciting it repeatedly before the exam etched it in my mind. Safe driving starts with the basics; never take it lightly.
