What to Do When Points Are Deducted from an A2 Driver's License?

When points are deducted from an A2 driver's license, the holder should pay the fine to clear the points and attend a 3-hour safety education session at the local vehicle management office within 30 days after the end of the current scoring cycle. Below is detailed information about the A2 driver's license: 1. Overview: The A2 driver's license permits the holder to drive tractor-trailers. With a valid A2 license issued by China's public security traffic police vehicle management authorities, the holder can operate heavy and medium-sized full trailers and semi-trailers, as well as vehicles permitted under B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, and M licenses. 2. Additional Information: According to the relevant provisions of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" (Order No. 123 of the Ministry of Public Security), for full trailers and semi-trailers driven with a legally valid A2 driver's license in China: a full trailer is one where the total weight of the trailer is borne by itself, while a semi-trailer is one where part of the total weight of the trailer is borne by the tractor.

I have plenty of experience with getting demerit points on an A2 license. If you've accumulated 1 to 11 points, you must complete a review education before the scoring cycle ends – either through online courses or about three hours of study at the DMV, mainly covering traffic laws and accident cases. Don't procrastinate; I've seen people forget to handle it and end up with penalties for an expired license. More crucially, avoid reaching 12 points, which would directly downgrade your license to B1B2, making you ineligible to drive semi-trailers and threatening your livelihood. When dealing with violations, pay all fines first, complete the required study, pass the test, and attend the review on time. Always watch for speed limits and prohibition signs while driving, especially common truck violations like entering restricted zones or overloading, which easily rack up points. I recommend downloading a traffic management app to check violation records regularly – prevention is far better than cure.

I've been driving heavy semi-trailers for over a decade and know the A2 license point deduction process inside out. First, don't rush to pay fines after getting points - determine your accumulated points first. If below 12 points, immediately schedule review education - now you can complete 3-hour online courses via mobile. The critical timing: everything must be completed before the scoring cycle ends, otherwise the system automatically locks your license. I know a fellow driver who had his license temporarily suspended for missing the deadline. The educational content is actually practical - those accident case videos really wake you up. When driving, especially watch out for exceeding speed limits by over 10% on highways and improper lane usage in cities - these are the most common violations. After handling all violations, remember to bring documents to the DMV for review - maintaining good standing is crucial for continuing long-haul transportation.

As a professional driver, I'd like to remind my peers holding A2 licenses: Handle demerit points immediately after receiving them. For 1 to 11 points, you need to complete review education, which is now mostly done through the Traffic Management 12123 APP with three hours of online learning, including regulation tests and case studies. Two key reminders: First, pay fines promptly, and second, never wait until the end of the scoring cycle to act—I've suffered from system delays myself. The learning content actually helps us refresh our knowledge, with cases like accidents caused by improperly secured cargo serving as strong warnings. Most crucially, keep demerit points under control—accumulating 12 points will directly downgrade your license, and losing the qualification to drive semi-trailers would be a huge hassle. I recommend checking your violation records quarterly.
