At the end of 2021, the revised Measures for the Administration of Scoring of Road Traffic Safety Violations were deliberated and passed, and will be implemented from April 1, 2022. Among them, the illegal demerit points have been adjusted, and the driving of motor vehicles that do not conform to the type of quasi-driving has been reduced from 12 points to 9 points; the violation of prohibition signs and prohibition marking instructions has been reduced from 3 points to 1 point; driving a motor vehicle has made calls, answered handheld phones and other behaviors that hinder safe driving, from 2 points to 3 points. Where the circumstances of the traffic violation are minor and a warning is given, points are waived.
It is worth noting that the previous car speeding deduction value of 12, 6, 3, 2, 1 has now been adjusted to 12, 9, 6, 3, 1. In the past, more than 50% of speeding was deducted 12 points, 20%-50% deducted 6 points, and 20% below 3 points were deducted, and after the adjustment, it was mainly for ordinary roads at the highway level. The deduction of points on ordinary roads has been lowered: 6 points are deducted for speeding above 50%, no points are deducted for less than 20%, and no points are deducted for speeding below 20% on high speeds.
In addition, the new rules introduce measures to reduce points for studying the law. Drivers who participate in the study of road traffic safety laws, regulations and related knowledge and pass the examination, or participate in traffic safety public welfare activities organized by the public security traffic management department, and meet the conditions for deducting points, can deduct points from the accumulated points, and can deduct up to 6 points in a scoring cycle.
At the same time, under the premise of maintaining the management of traffic violations that seriously hinder traffic safety, such as drunk driving, fleeing after traffic accidents caused by casualties, and using forged and altered licenses, the traffic police department has reduced the score of some traffic violations and deleted the points for traffic violations such as driving without placing inspection signs and insurance signs.
