Can a Vehicle Still Be Driven on the Road After Accumulating 12 Penalty Points?
2 Answers
Motor vehicles can still be driven normally. The main reasons and measures for continued driving are as follows: Main Reasons for Continued Driving: Traffic violation penalty points are assigned to the driver of the vehicle, not the vehicle itself. If a driver accumulates 12 penalty points within a scoring cycle due to driving a specific vehicle, the traffic police department will confiscate their driver's license. During the period of license confiscation, the driver is prohibited from operating any motor vehicle. Measures for Continued Driving: As for the vehicle itself, it will not be prohibited from being driven on the road simply because its driver has accumulated 12 penalty points. As long as there is a qualified driver, the vehicle can still be driven normally on the road.
This is quite common. I've heard many young friends ask similar questions in conversations. Losing 12 points on your license actually means you've maxed out your demerit points. According to traffic laws, once you accumulate 12 points, your driving privileges are suspended and you can't drive on public roads anymore. Traffic police enforce this strictly - if you're caught driving with a suspended license, you could face fines, vehicle impoundment, or even license confiscation. Not to mention, insurance may not cover you in case of an accident, creating serious safety risks. The proper procedure is to immediately report to your local traffic authority, complete a 7-day traffic safety course, and pass the written theory test (subject one) to reinstate your driving privileges. Always obey traffic rules when driving - avoid speeding or drunk driving to minimize point deductions. You can check all point deductions on the 12123 app - don't be careless about this, or you'll face bigger troubles.
