What to Do If 6 Points Are Deducted During the Probationary Period of a Driver's License?
2 Answers
If 6 points are deducted during the probationary period of a C1 driver's license, it will not affect the license or extend the probationary period. Simply pay the fine and accept the point deduction as usual. However, if more than 12 points (including 12 points) are deducted during the probationary period, the license will be revoked, and the driver must register at the vehicle management office to retake the learning and examination. For drivers holding licenses for large buses, tractors, urban buses, medium-sized buses, or large trucks, if 6 or more points (but less than 12 points) are deducted during the one-year probationary period, the probationary period will be extended by one year. If another 6 or more points (but less than 12 points) are deducted during the extended probationary period, the driver's qualification for the probationary vehicle type will be revoked. Regulations for the Probationary Period of a Driver's License: A probationary sign must be displayed. Article 22 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law" stipulates that the validity period of a motor vehicle driver's license is 6 years. The first 12 months after a driver initially obtains a motor vehicle driver's license is the probationary period. During this period, a uniform-style probationary sign must be affixed or hung at the rear of the vehicle. Failure to display the probationary sign as required will result in a fine of 200 yuan.
I recently had 6 points deducted during my probationary period, which really made me nervous. According to regulations, if you accumulate 6 points but don’t reach 12, your probationary period will be extended by a full 12 months. During this time, I have to be extra careful while driving because even a single additional point could lead to my license being revoked, forcing me to retake the written test. I quickly reflected on my mistakes and realized they were mainly due to speeding and running red lights. Now, I review traffic rules before every trip, stay focused while driving, and even ask friends to keep an eye on me. Extending the probationary period is no small matter, but it serves as a reminder to develop good habits. Safety comes first, and I’ll strive to be a better driver this year—I can’t let this happen again. In short, this was a big lesson, and it’s not too late to correct my mistakes early on.
