Can I continue driving after my C1 driver's license has been deducted 12 points?

C1 driver's license holders cannot continue driving after being deducted 12 points. The following are the specific steps to retrieve the license after it has been fully deducted: 1. Registration for study: The driver needs to bring the "Admission Notice" to register at the school and participate in the study. If the driver finds out through inquiry that the points have been fully deducted, they can also bring the driver's license to register, which is equally valid. 2. Study courses: The courses include road violation scoring and penalties, driver's psychological quality and traffic safety, road traffic safety laws and regulations, etc. 3. Passing the test and retrieving the license: After the motor vehicle driver participates in the study, the vehicle management department should conduct a test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge within 20 days. If the test is passed, the points will be cleared, and the motor vehicle driver's license will be returned.
When I first got my 12 points deducted, I was stunned too, but you really can't touch the steering wheel anymore. The traffic regulations clearly state: your license is frozen on the day you accumulate 12 points. Once, I saw a neighbor taking a chance and driving to the supermarket, only to be caught by an electronic eye for driving without a license halfway, resulting in the car being impounded and a 2000 yuan fine. In this state, the insurance company will absolutely refuse to pay for any accidents, not to mention the criminal liability if someone gets hurt. I suggest immediately asking family to help drive or spending some money on a designated driver—it's better than detention. Honestly reporting to the DMV, attending five days of classes, and retaking the written test is the right solution. Until you get your new license, start using your bus pass—safety is more important than anything.
