Will the probation period be extended if points are deducted during the C1 driver's license probation period?

C1 driver's license does not have the situation of extending the probation period. During the probation period, you cannot accumulate 12 points. If you accumulate 12 points, your driving qualification will be revoked. Here is additional information: 1. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses": Article 69, if a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 points during the probation period, the driving qualification for the probationary vehicle type will be revoked. If the revoked driving qualification is not for the highest permitted vehicle type, the driving qualification for the highest permitted vehicle type shall also be revoked in accordance with the first paragraph of Article 68. 2. For drivers holding licenses for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium buses, or large trucks, if they accumulate 6 or more points but less than 12 points during the one-year probation period, the probation period will be extended by one year. If they again accumulate 6 or more points but less than 12 points during the extended probation period, the driving qualification for the probationary vehicle type will be revoked.
I just got my C1 driver's license not long ago, and I was particularly nervous driving during the probationary period, afraid of making any mistakes. I remember the probationary period lasts a full 12 months, and if you accidentally get points deducted, there's no need to worry about the probationary period being extended. However, the key point is that if you accumulate 12 points in a single instance or reach 12 points cumulatively during the probationary period, your license will be revoked directly, and you'll have to retake the test, which is quite a hassle. A friend of mine was once caught speeding on the highway and got 6 points deducted—his probationary period wasn’t extended, but he was warned to be extra careful in the future. I recommend paying close attention to speed limits and rules during the probationary period and not driving too aggressively, as beginners are prone to mistakes. Regularly check your license points to avoid regret only after reaching the limit. Overall, minor deductions aren’t a big deal, but try to maintain zero points for safety, so you don’t risk losing your license.
