Can I reduce points through self-study at the traffic management department if my driver's license has been deducted 12 points?

Driver's license deducted 12 points cannot be reduced through self-study at the traffic management department. After the driver's license is deducted 12 points, within 15 days, you must go to the traffic management department to obtain an "admission notice" and undergo a one-week road safety knowledge training. After the training, you must take an assessment. Only after passing the assessment can you regain your driver's license. If you fail the assessment, you will continue to study. The following is relevant information: 1. Regulations: According to Article 24 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": If a motor vehicle driver's points in a scoring period have not reached 12 points and the imposed fines have been paid, the points will be cleared. 2. Precautions: Complying with traffic rules and improving road safety awareness can not only avoid penalties such as point deductions and fines but also protect safety.
After having 12 points deducted from your driver's license, you can indeed use the traffic authority's 'Study to Reduce Points' platform to reduce the penalty. This serves as a remedial measure, but the maximum reduction is only 6 points. Last year, I personally had 12 points deducted for speeding and almost had my license revoked. Fortunately, I promptly downloaded the 'Traffic Management 12123' app, registered and logged in, selected the video learning module, and watched a 30-minute traffic safety video. The content was extremely simple, covering basics like stopping at red lights and maintaining safe distances. After that, I took an online test consisting of multiple-choice questions. Passing required answering over 90% correctly, and in the end, I had 3 points deducted. The whole process was quick and completed in a day. However, don't rely on this as a shortcut—it's best to drive carefully to avoid further penalties. If left unaddressed, you'd have to retake the theoretical test at the vehicle management office, which is even more troublesome.
When your driver's license points are completely deducted, the option of self-study point reduction through traffic management is feasible. This policy is designed to encourage everyone to learn safety knowledge, but it cannot reduce all the points. I understand your concern, as driving without points carries significant risks. The specific procedure is: enter the 'Traffic Management 12123' App, open the education and learning module, select point reduction learning, and there will be several hours of video lessons and tests covering traffic rules such as the dangers of speeding. After passing the exam, the system will automatically reduce the points. I recommend scheduling your study time in advance and not delaying, because you cannot drive until your points are restored. If the point reduction fails, your license may be suspended, and then you will have to retake the theoretical part. Safety first, and following the rules while driving is the key.
