What to Do When 12 Points Are Deducted for Driving a Motorcycle with a C1 License?
2 Answers
If 12 points are deducted for driving a motorcycle with a C1D license, it means you can no longer drive a motorcycle or a car. If the driver's license is still in the probationary period, accumulating 12 points within a single scoring cycle will result in the immediate revocation of the license. In this case, you will need to retake the driving test to obtain a new license. If the license is not in the probationary period, accumulating 12 points will require attending a training course before you can resume driving motor vehicles. C1 License Test: The test includes four subjects: traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, road driving, and safe and civilized driving theory. Passing Criteria: Traffic Regulations and Related Knowledge (Subject 1) – Written test, scored out of 100, with 90 or above required to pass. Field Driving (Subject 2) – On-site, practical test. Minimum passing score is 80; below 80 is a fail. Road Driving (Subject 3) – Highway or simulated field, practical test. Scored out of 100, with 90 or above required to pass. Safe and Civilized Driving Theory – Written test, featuring case studies, images, animations, etc., with true/false, single-choice, and multiple-choice questions. Total of 50 questions, scored out of 100, with 90 or above required to pass.
That time I took my C1 driver's license for a motorcycle joyride, and got pulled over by traffic police immediately. They said the vehicle type didn't match my license and deducted 12 points on the spot. My license was suspended right away, and I felt utterly devastated. Afterwards, I had to go to the traffic police station to handle it—first paying a fine, which could range from a few hundred to two thousand yuan depending on the situation. Then, I had to sign up for a 7-day traffic safety course covering regulations, theory, and practical cases. Only after passing the exam could I get my license back. This whole process disrupted my work and cost me time and effort—totally not worth it. Remember, C1 is for cars; motorcycles require an E or D license—don't risk riding without one. Getting a motorcycle license early would've been so much better—safe and hassle-free. The point deduction was a harsh lesson. Drive legally, safety first—don't be as foolish as I was inviting this trouble.
