Can 12 points still be deducted if 11 points have already been deducted from the driver's license? In theory, there is no upper limit to the number of points that can be deducted from a driver's license, as most traffic violations are now recorded by electronic police, which may result in multiple violations by a single vehicle leading to high point deductions. The calculation method for the driver's license point cycle is as follows: 1. The calculation starts from the day the driver's license is first issued, with each 12-month period constituting a cycle. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," Article 65, the cumulative point cycle for road traffic safety violations (i.e., the point cycle) is 12 months, with a full score of 12 points, calculated from the date the motor vehicle driver's license is first issued; 2. Depending on the severity of the road traffic safety violation, the points deducted at one time can be: 12 points, 6 points, 3 points, 2 points, or 1 point; 3. Article 66 states that for motor vehicle drivers' road traffic safety violations, penalties and point deductions are executed simultaneously. If a motor vehicle driver commits more than one violation at a time, the points should be calculated separately and accumulated.
I've been driving for over a decade and have seen plenty of cases involving license point deductions. Currently having 11 points deducted means you're close to the limit in your scoring cycle. You can't afford another 12-point deduction because the total license points cap is 12. If you commit another violation, like a speeding ticket worth 6 points, you'd immediately exceed the 12-point limit. Once you reach or surpass 12 points, you'll need to attend traffic safety theory courses at the traffic management department and pass an exam to regain your driving privileges. I recommend regularly checking your points using the Traffic Management 12123 app to stay informed about deductions and prevent point overload risks in advance. Safe driving is crucial - accumulating too many points may lead to license suspension or revocation, affecting both work and daily life. Don't underestimate minor violations; their cumulative consequences can be severe. Always stay vigilant while driving.
