Will a 6-point deduction during the probationary period of a driver's license extend the probationary period?

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.
Having driven for decades, I know many new drivers are concerned about this. Getting 6 penalty points during the probationary period won't extend it; the probation is fixed at 12 months regardless of points. Only reaching 12 points will revoke your license, while 6 points just serve as a warning to drive carefully. I advise novices to stick to speed limits during probation and not mimic reckless veteran drivers. Safety comes first - accidents can mean more than just points, but injuries too. Regularly checking your driving record is crucial, easily done with an app. After probation, your license automatically becomes regular, so don't overthink it.
Hey buddy, I know this well. Getting 6 penalty points during your driver's license probation period won't extend the probation; it still ends after 12 months. But if you accumulate 12 points, your license will be revoked and you'll have to retake the test. So 6 points isn't a big deal, but you should drive more carefully. Safe driving tips: During probation, avoid overtaking, driving on highways, or night cruising to stay out of trouble. Check your points regularly through mobile apps. Simply put, drive like you're reviewing for an exam - steady and focused.
