Can Driving Safety Records Be Cleared?
2 Answers
Full-point records on a driver's license can be cleared. Here is additional information: Clearing Records: If a driver's license receives full penalty points, the driver must report to the traffic management department of the public security authority at the license issuance location or the place where the violation occurred within 15 days. They must participate in a seven-day study session on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Upon passing the exam, the full-point record can be cleared. Relevant Regulations: According to Article 68 of the "Ministry of Public Security Decision on Amending the Provisions for the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," if a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 penalty points within one scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security authority shall detain their motor vehicle driver's license.
To be honest, I've been driving for ten years, and driving safety records really aren't something you can delete at will. Last year, my colleague got 12 points deducted for drunk driving, and the red mark in his file was clearly noted. The DMV said such records follow the file for twenty years. Daily speeding points are cleared annually, but if you hit a guardrail and flee, tsk tsk, the insurance company can still dig it up when checking the records. Last week, while taking my child to school, I saw an electronic screen at the intersection scrolling the ID numbers of drunk drivers being publicly exposed—everything is now nationally connected. So rather than thinking about how to erase records, it's more practical to develop habits like buckling up as soon as you get in the car.
