Can I Still Drive After Two 6-Point Deductions?

[MacDakota]

Whether you can continue driving after two 6-point deductions depends on the circumstances, as traffic police record violations in two ways: on-site penalties by officers or electronic surveillance cameras. The specific situations are as follows: 1. Two 6-point deductions during the probationary period: (1) If both violations were recorded on-site by traffic officers, with the penalty tickets noting the driver's license information, the license will be revoked when processing these violations. You will need to retake the driving test. Additionally, on-site penalties must be handled within 15 days, or a 3% late fee will accrue daily. (2) If one or both violations were recorded by electronic surveillance, you can use another person's license to deduct the points. (3) For licenses above C1, a 6-point deduction will require extending the probationary period by one year. 2. Two 6-point deductions on a full license: (1) If both 6-point violations were on-site penalties, you must attend 'full-score education' and pass the theoretical test (Subject 1) to reclaim your license and clear the points. (2) If one or both violations were recorded electronically, you can ask a friend to help deduct the points for one 6-point violation. (3) For licenses above C1, if points are deducted during the scoring cycle, you must undergo an annual license review within 30 days after the cycle ends.

I was really panicked when I got two 6-point deductions. After checking the regulations, I realized how serious it was. The total points on a driver's license are only 12, and once you accumulate 12 points, the system will directly lock your license. The traffic management department will notify you to attend a 7-day road traffic safety law training, followed by retaking the theoretical exam (Subject 1). The most critical part is that you can't drive during this period—doing so counts as driving without a license, and if caught by the police, you could face fines or even detention. I suggest going to the traffic management department immediately to handle it; delaying too long will affect the processing progress. Remember to study hard during the training—some people fail the exam and have to retake it, which can disrupt work even more. Until everything is resolved, really avoid touching the steering wheel. If you must travel, take a taxi or bus—safety first.

Last year, my friend got two consecutive speeding tickets, each deducting 6 points, which directly rendered his car undrivable. After accumulating 12 penalty points, the driver's license is automatically suspended. You must first schedule a full-score education session at the traffic police station, complete seven days of study, and then pass an exam. This process typically takes about half a month, and during the study period, you can only rely on family members to drive for you. I’m reminding you not to take any chances by driving illegally. A guy I knew was caught driving secretly—not only was he fined 2,000 yuan, but his car was also impounded, and he faced 15 days of administrative detention, which was even more unbearable. Also, note that the demerit point cycle is calculated from the date your license was issued, not the calendar year. Act quickly, and there’s still a chance to recover. Remember to bring your ID card and driver's license to the DMV to register for the study session.

I've been there before. Once I had two violations that each deducted 6 points, and the traffic police directly confiscated my license when handling it. After accumulating 12 points, you have to attend 7 days of traffic regulation classes, with mandatory check-ins at the driving school, and finally pass a theory test to regain your driving eligibility. Driving during this period counts as unlicensed driving, and you'll still be penalized if caught by electronic police. I suggest you check your license status—if the 'locked' label appears on the Traffic Management 12123 app, it means your license is suspended. Act quickly; the sooner you complete the classes and test, the sooner you get your license back. Delaying it will cause issues with your daily commute. The cost of taking taxis is still better than paying fines.

Don't move the car immediately in this situation, I have experience to share. After accumulating 12 penalty points, the system automatically suspends your license, and you'll promptly receive a text message instructing you to attend mandatory classes. You must attend classes at a designated location for seven consecutive days, with at least three hours daily, and pass the final exam with a score above 90. During this period, the vehicle can be driven but only by someone with a valid license. Three reminders: immediately check the traffic police SMS for class locations, arrange for friends to handle your transportation needs, and download the 'Driver's License Test Prep' app to practice questions in advance. Never drive illegally - last month's news reported someone getting administrative detention for this, it's truly not worth the risk.

Here's my real-life experience for your reference. After getting two 6-point deductions early this year, the traffic police directly notified me to attend safety education. The procedure goes like this: First apply for full-score education at the DMV, then attend classes and sign in at the traffic school for seven consecutive days - missing any session means starting over. After completing the course, take the subject one exam. Your driving privileges will only be restored five working days after passing. The crucial point is you absolutely cannot drive during these dozen or so days - if caught by surveillance cameras, it's punishment for unlicensed driving with a minimum fine of 1,500 yuan. During this process, I recommend keeping your study certificates handy in case of emergencies when stopped by police. The whole ordeal is quite troublesome, but following rules is much better than taking risks.
