C1 driver's license holders must undergo re-education after accumulating 12 penalty points. Here is some information about accumulating 12 penalty points on a C1 driver's license: 1. C1 driver's license: If a C1 driver's license accumulates 12 penalty points, the license will be suspended. The driver must report to the traffic management department of the public security authority at the place where the license was issued or where the violation occurred to receive 7 days of road traffic safety regulations education. 2. Examination: After passing the subject one exam, the penalty points will be cleared and the driver's license will be returned. Those who fail the exam must reschedule and retake it. For those who accumulate more than 12 but fewer than 24 penalty points, only the subject one exam is required. Those who accumulate 24 penalty points must also take the subject three exam.
My friend lost all 12 points last year due to speeding, and the whole process was quite troublesome. Once the points were fully deducted, they couldn't drive immediately and had to report to the vehicle management office within 15 days to attend a 7-day theoretical study on road traffic safety. The schedule was tight, with classes from 9 AM to 4 PM, and only a half-hour lunch break in between. After completing the course, there was an exam mainly covering traffic regulations and driving ethics—failing meant having to retake the course. Passing the exam resulted in a six-month suspension of the driver's license, during which driving on the road was prohibited. It was crucial to avoid any further violations during this period, as the consequences would be more severe. After regaining the license, it's advisable to install a dash cam. My friend now drives very cautiously, as no one wants to go through that ordeal again.
