Can a 12-point deduction on the driver's license record be cleared?
3 Answers
Driver's license records with a 12-point deduction cannot be cleared. You must attend study sessions and pass the subject one exam before the points can be cleared. Below is an introduction to the relevant content regarding a full 12-point deduction on a driver's license: Driving prohibition: If a driver's license accumulates a full 12-point deduction, driving is prohibited. License suspension: The traffic management department of the public security authority will suspend the motor vehicle driver's license in accordance with relevant laws. Mandatory study: The motor vehicle driver must attend a seven-day road traffic safety law study session within fifteen days at the traffic management department of the public security authority where the driver's license was issued or where the violation occurred.
I have a deep personal experience with the 12-point deduction. When I was young and reckless, I got caught speeding and running a red light, which immediately maxed out my 12 points. The consequence was my driver's license being revoked. I had to attend a 7-day training course at the traffic police station and retake the written test (Subject 1) to get my license back. While the points were cleared, those violation records remain permanently in my driving history and can't be erased. I heard insurance companies can access these records, and my premiums skyrocketed. Now I drive much more carefully, using a traffic app for real-time alerts to avoid violations. The key point is, these records might affect future job applications or even immigration processes—I truly regret it. My advice: regularly check your points. Points reset after each cycle, but the records stay in your file for life. Safety first is the most practical approach.
As a veteran driver with over 20 years of experience, I must say that getting 12 demerit points is extremely dangerous. Those records in your file can never be completely cleared, leaving evidence like a permanent mark. While your points reset to zero at the end of each demerit cycle, 12 points mean your license gets suspended, and you have to retake the test before you can drive again. This causes significant disruption to daily commutes and family life. I've helped friends deal with similar situations before - those records can affect your credit rating and even make renting a car difficult. That's why it's crucial to obey speed limits, avoid drunk driving, and develop good habits while driving daily - prevention is always better than cure. Safe driving is a long-term commitment; don't let small mistakes ruin your entire driving career.
