Will 3 points deducted from an A1 driver's license affect the annual inspection?
2 Answers
If a driver's license has no points deducted, it can be exempted from the annual inspection. However, if 3 points are deducted, the annual inspection is required, along with attending study sessions and exams during the inspection. For A2 license holders, if points are deducted within a scoring cycle, they must report to the traffic management department of the public security bureau within 30 days after the scoring cycle ends to undergo the inspection. The inspection includes: handling of road traffic violations and accident situations; physical condition; points deducted for road traffic violations and participation in study sessions and exams after accumulating 12 points. Annual inspection precautions: During the annual inspection, the vehicle management office will check the vehicle's lights. If the lights are found to be too dim or too bright, the vehicle will be deemed unqualified and will not pass the inspection. If the lights are too dim, check the wiring and bulbs for aging, and replace relevant parts if necessary. If xenon headlights have been installed, it is recommended to revert to the original headlights before the inspection to pass the test.
I've been driving with an A1 driver's license for over a decade, and getting 3 points deducted really isn't something to worry too much about. The annual inspection mainly checks the vehicle condition and license validity period. As long as your accumulated points don't reach 12, you can generally pass smoothly. I usually use the Traffic Management 12123 APP to check my points - when I see the points increase, it reminds me to drive more steadily and avoid speeding or running red lights. Remember, point deductions only affect your safety record. The annual inspection doesn't directly check your points unless you've committed too many violations and are required to attend remedial courses. Overall, maintaining good habits is fundamental - don't let small issues pile up into big troubles.
