What to Do When All Points Are Deducted from a C1 Driver's License?
2 Answers
If all 12 points are deducted from a C1 driver's license, it will be confiscated by the traffic management department of the public security authority. The license holder must then attend a 7-day training program on road traffic safety laws and related knowledge, with 8 hours of instruction per day, at the traffic management department of the public security authority where the driver's license was issued or where the violation occurred. Relevant information about the driver's license is as follows: 1. Introduction: The People's Republic of China Motor Vehicle Driver's License, commonly referred to as a driver's license, is a mandatory certification for motor vehicle drivers as stipulated by the laws of the People's Republic of China. 2. Examination Content: The test subjects include traffic laws and related knowledge, field driving, and road driving (including safe and civilized driving).
I have personal experience with this! Last year, I had all 12 points deducted at once and was panicking at the time. I immediately went to the DMV to sign up for a 7-day training course. The first six days involved watching traffic regulation videos on the computer, and on the last day, there was an in-person class with roll call. During the training, you could choose between in-person or online classes—I recommend the in-person option for better results. The test questions were easier than the ones in the first driving theory exam. After passing, the points were reset, and I got my license back. Remember, once your points are all deducted, don’t drive—getting caught counts as driving without a license and could land you 15 days in detention. The whole process takes about 15 days to complete, though attending classes every day can really interfere with work. Next time, I’ll definitely follow traffic rules properly—retaking the test is such a hassle!
