Which subject does the 'Study to Reduce Points' policy belong to?
2 Answers
Study to Reduce Points is related to Subject 4 and Subject 1. Study to Reduce Points is not about adding points, but a policy that allows motor vehicle drivers to reduce traffic violation points by receiving education. Within one scoring cycle, a maximum of 6 points can be reduced. There are three ways to reduce points through study: 1) Participate in online learning (accumulate 30 minutes within 3 days) and pass the exam to reduce 1 point; 2) Participate in on-site learning (no less than 1 hour each time) and pass the exam to reduce 2 points; 3) Participate in traffic safety public welfare activities (1 hour each time) to reduce 1 point. There are 7 situations where drivers cannot apply for 'Study to Reduce Points': 1) Within the current scoring cycle, the driver has two or more full-score records, or the cumulative points reach 12; 2) In the previous scoring cycle, the driver has two or more full-score records; 3) In the last three scoring cycles, the driver has been penalized for hit-and-run accidents, drunk driving, using forged or altered vehicle license plates, driving licenses, school bus signs, or other vehicle documents, or buying/selling points; 4) The driver's license is in the probationary period, overdue for review, or suspended; 5) The driver has unresolved traffic violation records; 6) The driver owns a vehicle with expired safety technical inspection or unprocessed deregistration; 7) The driver has engaged in fraud or impersonation during the point reduction education or full-score education and review exams.
As a new driver who just got my license, I learned about penalty deduction in the subject one test. Subject one mainly covers theoretical knowledge, including traffic regulations, safe driving, and those point deduction rules, like how many points are deducted for speeding or running a red light. I spent over a month practicing with the question bank, using an app to repeatedly memorize key points. The exam is all multiple-choice questions—simple but requires careful understanding. This isn’t just for passing the test; knowing how to avoid violations while driving can reduce fines and point deductions while improving safety awareness. I recommend beginners start practicing subject one early to build a solid foundation, making the subject two road test smoother. By the way, regulations have been updated recently, so staying updated with the latest question bank is more effective. Don’t rush to skip this part—it affects your future driving habits.
