Will a 6-point deduction during the probationary period of a driver's license extend the probationary period?
2 Answers
Whether a 6-point deduction during the probationary period of a driver's license extends the probationary period depends on the type of license. For a C1 license, a 6-point deduction during the probationary period will not extend the probationary period; for B and A licenses, a 6-point deduction (without reaching 12 points) will extend the probationary period by one year. If the license is revoked, the driver must reapply and retake all four exams (Subjects 1, 2, 3, and 4) as if it were their first time. A driver's license is a legal document required for operating motor vehicles, and it is categorized into 16 classes: A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, D, E, F, M, N, and P.
I just got my driver's license and was in the probationary period when this happened. Once, I accidentally exceeded the speed limit and got 6 points deducted. I was worried to death about whether it would extend my probationary period, so I consulted a friend from the traffic management department. They said that getting 6 points deducted during the probationary period doesn't extend it at all—the probationary period still ends after the usual 12 months. But the key is not to accumulate a full 12 points, otherwise your license will be revoked, and you'll have to start all over again. It's easy to make mistakes when you're a new driver, so they advised me to drive slower, avoid peak hours, and use navigation to remind me of speed limits. Safety first, right? Now, I regularly check my driving points to avoid making the same mistake again. Remember, the probationary period is a learning period—being steady is better than anything else.
