Why Can't You Reduce Points Through Learning Traffic Laws?
2 Answers
Reasons for not being able to reduce points through learning traffic laws are as follows: Points reduction limit reached or full-point records: Having more than two full-point records in the current scoring cycle, accumulated points reaching twelve, having already reduced points by the maximum of 6 points; having more than two full-point records in the previous scoring cycle. Penalties received during the scoring cycle: Within the last three scoring cycles, having been penalized for hit-and-run accidents, drunk driving, using forged or altered vehicle license plates, driving licenses, school bus permits, or other vehicle documents, or engaging in point trading. During probation period or unresolved violations: Driver's license is in the probation period, or the license status shows overdue inspection, detention, suspension, or unresolved violations.
As an ordinary driver with over a decade of experience, let me discuss why the 'study to reduce points' system might not work in some cases. There are several main reasons: Firstly, if you commit serious violations such as drunk driving or hit-and-run, these are red-line behaviors where the policy does not allow point reduction through study, aiming to make us take safety more seriously. Secondly, when your accumulated points reach the full 12 points, the study-to-reduce-points method won't work either, and you'll have to retake the test from scratch. Thirdly, local policies vary greatly—some cities haven't implemented this system yet or only apply it to local licenses. Lastly, if the learning process isn't completed or fails review, it's also ineffective. Don't forget, regular car maintenance is crucial—check brakes and tires periodically to avoid big point deductions for minor oversights. Drive steadily, and you'll have more opportunities.
