Can I still drive if my driving license has been deducted 12 points?

If your driving license has been deducted 12 points, you cannot drive and must pass the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test before you can continue driving. The following is an introduction to whether you can still drive if your driving license has been deducted 12 points: 1. According to Article 68 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses": If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 points in a scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall detain their motor vehicle driving license. 2. If a motor vehicle driver has accumulated 12 points or more twice in a scoring cycle or has accumulated 24 points or more, the vehicle management office shall also conduct a road driving skills test within ten days after passing the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test. The road driving skills test shall be conducted according to the highest permissible driving model specified on the driver's motor vehicle driving license.
Never drive with a full 12-point deduction on your license! As someone who drives frequently, I must say this is extremely dangerous. Losing all your points means you've repeatedly violated traffic rules, such as running red lights or speeding. Continuing to drive poses too high a risk—you could easily cause an accident or be caught by traffic police, potentially facing hefty fines or even detention. What's more troublesome is that you must suspend driving to attend traffic safety education and pass a test. Only after your points are reset can you return to the road. I recommend always following traffic rules and using apps to monitor violations. It's best to develop a habit of checking your license before each trip—if your points are close to the limit, avoid violations. Safety should always come first; don’t risk driving for momentary convenience.
Once all 12 points on your driver's license are deducted, you're no longer allowed to drive. This is strictly regulated by law, otherwise it's considered unlicensed driving and subject to penalties. I remember last time my neighbor Xiao Wang didn't heed advice and kept driving after his points were maxed out, only to be stopped by police and fined heavily. Now he's honestly attending traffic school to restore his points. As an experienced driver, I believe obeying traffic rules is crucial. Everyone should avoid speeding and use navigation more to prevent violations. When points are exhausted, immediate action must be taken—there's no time to delay. Safe driving benefits everyone, don't follow foolish young examples.
