Can I still drive if my driver's license has been deducted 12 points?
1 Answers
After the driver's license has been deducted a full 12 points, you cannot drive and must participate in a learning program before you can drive again. According to relevant laws in China, if the cumulative points reach 12 within a cycle, the driver's license will be confiscated by the public security department. Below is additional information: 1. Precautions for using a driver's license: A driver's license can be deducted a maximum of 11 points. Note that this is cumulative within a scoring cycle, meaning it's not just a single deduction—once processed, the record is retained until the next scoring cycle. If the points do not reach 12 within a scoring cycle, it does not affect usage, only the wallet, as corresponding fines must be paid. After paying the fines, the system automatically resets at the start of the next scoring cycle. 2. Handling methods for more than 12 points: If a driver accumulates 12 points or more twice within a scoring cycle or reaches a cumulative score of 24 points or more, in addition to passing the subject one test, the driver must also take the subject three test.
