What to do if points are deducted during the probationary period of a B2 driver's license?

Bring your driver's license and vehicle registration to the vehicle management office to print out the official fine receipt. If it's a violation that involves point deduction, the points will be recorded when the fine receipt is printed. If a B2 driver's license has points deducted within a scoring cycle, the holder must undergo a review at the end of the cycle. No review is required if no points are deducted.
I drive a truck and just got my B2 license last year, so I've been through the probation period demerit point system. As long as you don't reach 12 points, it's generally fine, but exceeding 6 points will extend your probation by one year. Last time I got penalized 3 points for overloading, so I immediately went to the DMV to settle the violation. After paying the fine, I became extra cautious while driving. Accumulating 12 points during probation will result in immediate license revocation, meaning you'll have to retake the tests—that's a huge loss. I recommend installing a dash cam to avoid disputes, sticking to familiar routes, and learning driving tips from experienced drivers. Once you get through the probation period, you can breathe easier. Oh, and don't delay handling traffic violations to avoid late fees.
