Will a C1 driver's license be extended for one year if 6 points are deducted?

C1 driver's license will not be extended for half a year if 6 points are deducted. The extension of the probation period by half a year refers to the A and B class driver's licenses, which will have their probation period extended by half a year if 6 points are deducted at one time. Other driver's licenses do not have this issue. Age requirements for applying for a C1 driver's license: The minimum age limit for a C1 driver's license is 18 years old, and there is no upper age limit. However, applicants over 70 years old must pass tests on memory, judgment, reaction ability, etc. Vehicle types allowed by C1 license: The C1 driver's license allows driving small and micro passenger vehicles, as well as light and micro cargo vehicles; light, small, and micro special operation vehicles; small passenger vehicles with seating capacity of 9 or fewer people. Vehicles that cannot be driven with a C1 license: large buses, tractors, city buses, medium buses, large trucks, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, light motorcycles, wheeled self-propelled machinery, trolleybuses, and trams. Additionally, a C1 license cannot be used to drive vehicles with more than 9 seats or trucks with a total length exceeding 6 meters.
I just dealt with my C1 traffic violation last week and specifically asked the traffic police about this issue. A deduction of 6 points does not affect the probationary period at all. There are only two situations where the probationary period will be extended: first, after upgrading to a higher-level driver's license and being in the probationary period, and second, for AB-class driver's licenses where more than 6 points are deducted during the probationary period. For our regular car driver's license, as long as you don't accumulate 12 points, there's no need to worry. Of course, it's best to avoid any more violations within the next six months. After being caught crossing a solid line in the city last time, I now pay extra attention to road markings while driving. Developing good driving habits during the novice stage is crucial, especially since accumulating 12 points during the probationary period means retaking the written test (Subject 1).
As a driving instructor, my students often ask this question. Losing 6 points on a C1 license does not require extending the probationary period at all—I've been teaching for twenty years and haven't seen a single case of extension for this reason. However, I must remind beginners of a few key points: First, when handling traffic violations, you need to spend half an hour learning at a manual service window; second, remember to check the date when your license points are cleared; third, driving on highways must be accompanied by an experienced driver with over three years of driving experience. One of my students accumulated 9 points during the probationary period and only had to retake the written test (Subject One). What you really need to watch out for are drunk driving and hit-and-run incidents, as these will directly result in the revocation of your license.
