Where can C1 drivers answer questions to earn points?
4 Answers
C1 drivers can earn additional points by passing online traffic regulation knowledge tests. The new regulations for point deductions are introduced as follows: 1. Online point-earning policy: By passing an online traffic regulation knowledge test, drivers can earn 1 point. A maximum of 6 points can be earned through answering questions within one scoring cycle. This helps reinforce drivers' knowledge of road safety regulations, thereby reducing traffic violations. The maximum cumulative reduction is 6 points. 2. License downgrade rules: For A1, A2, A3, B1, and B2 class licenses, downgrading will occur if any of the following conditions are met: accumulating 12 points in one cycle, failing to undergo inspection for 3 consecutive cycles, or being primarily responsible for a major casualty accident. Additionally, upon reaching 60 years of age, any class of driver's license will be downgraded to C1.
I completed the quiz for point deduction through the Traffic Management 12123 app and used it twice last year. In the service center, I found the 'Study to Reduce Points' entry. After watching a 30-minute traffic safety video, I took the exam. The questions were all about common traffic regulations, and getting 18 out of 20 correct allowed me to deduct 1 point. When I went to the traffic police station for errands, I noticed they also had on-site learning and exam windows. After registering with my ID and driver's license, listening to the explanation, and passing the exam, I could also reduce points. The app is convenient as it allows learning anytime, anywhere, while the on-site option felt more detailed in guidance. However, remember that the maximum points you can add in a year is 6—exceeding that makes you ineligible. Now, I’ve developed a habit of setting aside time each month to study, which helps me review traffic rules and reduce points—quite a good deal.
Last month, my C1 driver's license was penalized with points, so I immediately applied for the 'Study to Reduce Points' program on the Traffic Management 12123 APP. After registering and logging in via my phone, I opted for the online learning mode. The system required me to watch three accident warning videos, totaling about half an hour. The test consisted of 20 multiple-choice and true/false questions, mostly about the dangers of speeding and traffic signal rules. After answering 90% correctly, the system automatically deducted 1 point from my penalty. A traffic officer I know from the community also told me that some cities have opened on-site learning centers where you can attend training and take the test with just your ID. However, he recommended prioritizing the APP for its simplicity—completing the learning takes just about ten minutes. Note that you can apply for point reduction up to six times within a single scoring cycle, and if you fail the test, you'll have to try again the next day. The key is to act early and not wait until you've accumulated 12 penalty points to think about it.
After my last traffic violation points deduction, I directly used the Traffic Management 12123 APP to earn back points through answering questions. After downloading and logging into the APP, I found the 'Study to Reduce Points' module in the services section, selected the application reason, and submitted it for review. On the evening it was approved, I watched a half-hour driving instructional video with very practical content. The next day, I took a 20-minute timed exam, passing by correctly answering 18 out of 20 questions. The entire process was completed conveniently on my phone without even having to pay for parking. It's best to keep a monthly record to avoid exceeding the six-time reduction limit. A reminder to everyone: confirm there are no serious violation records before proceeding, as some situations do not meet the criteria for point recovery.
