Can I still drive with 12 accumulated penalty points?
1 Answers
You cannot drive with 12 accumulated penalty points. You must clear the points before you can continue to use your driver's license. If the accumulated points reach 12, you must attend a seven-day study session on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge at the traffic management department of the public security authority in the place where the driver's license was issued or where the violation occurred. After that, you must take an exam. If you pass the exam, the points will be cleared. According to Article 28 of the Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, motor vehicle drivers are not allowed to drive motor vehicles if their driver's license is lost, damaged, expired, or has been legally confiscated or temporarily suspended, or if their accumulated points reach 12.
