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.

When I got my license last year, I was also worried about this and did some research. The regulations are very clear now: C1 probation period won't be extended for 6 penalty points. However, there are two things to note: first, handling 6-point violations requires watching safety education videos at the traffic police station - online processing isn't available; second, the point reset date will be recalculated in the second year, meaning you'll need to accumulate 12 points again. After getting penalized for running a yellow light back then, I developed the habit of checking traffic lights in advance using navigation. I recommend new drivers put up probation stickers - experienced drivers tend to give more leeway when they see them.

Haha, we actually discussed this topic in our car enthusiasts group chat last week. Getting 6 points deducted on a C1 license is really no big deal! During my probationary period, I got 3 points deducted for illegal parking, and now I've smoothly renewed my license. There are a few details to note: if you accumulate 6 points during the probationary period, you'll need to attend a 3-hour study session when handling the violation; if you exceed 6 points but don't reach 12 points, you'll receive a written safety warning after handling it; additionally, if you add a motorcycle endorsement, there will be a new probationary period. I recommend installing a dashcam—it can help avoid disputes and also record the scenery along the way.

From a legal perspective, according to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses", only Class A and B driving licenses will have their probationary period extended by one year if they accumulate 6 or more points during the probationary period. However, for a C1 license, accumulating 6 points during the probationary period only requires attending a warning education session. The key point lies in the cumulative points system—the driving license will only be revoked if 12 points are accumulated during the probationary period. For example, if a learner accumulates 9 points in the eighth month, they just need to get through the remaining four months safely. It is recommended that beginners avoid unfamiliar routes in the first three months, as many cities have updated variable lanes, and ground arrows can be easily misjudged.
