Can Points Be Deducted Next Year If Driving License Points Are Insufficient?

[StEmmett]

There are two scenarios. In the first scenario, if it does not affect the annual inspection of the motor vehicle, the traffic violations can be processed and points deducted in the following year. In the second scenario, if the motor vehicle requires annual inspection procedures within the current year, points cannot be deducted the next year and must be deducted before the annual inspection. If a driving license accumulates 12 penalty points and the violation was caught on-site by traffic police, the driving license will definitely be confiscated. In such cases, the violation record must be processed at the traffic police department. For a driving license still in the probationary period, the license must also be canceled. For licenses past the probationary period, the driver must attend full-point education courses and pass the subject one exam to restore driving privileges and clear the points. Things to note when handling violations: One driving license can only process violations for up to three motor vehicles, and one motor vehicle can only use up to three driving licenses for processing. If a motor vehicle is recorded with a single violation resulting in 12 points, a probationary driving license cannot be used to process it. Instead, a post-probationary license can be used to help avoid cancellation. On-site traffic police tickets and high-definition camera tickets capturing the driver's face cannot be processed using another person's driving license—only the violator's license can be used, as the traffic police department will conduct facial recognition for violation records.

I have specialized in studying traffic regulations. The demerit point cycle for a driver's license is a full year starting from the date of issuance. For example, if you obtained your license in May, the points will not reset until May of the following year. According to traffic regulations, any demerit points incurred from violations must be fully resolved within the current demerit point cycle. It is absolutely not allowed to carry over unaccounted points from this year to the next. Just this month, I helped an elderly neighbor check his record. He thought he could defer the points for speeding to next year, but right after the cycle reset date, he was notified that he had to retake the written test (Subject One). In fact, the most reliable method when you find your points insufficient is to apply for a 'study to reduce points' at the traffic management office. By completing traffic safety education courses, you can have some demerit points waived, or you can ask another driver to share the responsibility for the violation. Never try to tough it out on your own, as accumulating 12 points over consecutive cycles will result in a temporary suspension of your driver's license.

Last week, I accompanied my cousin to deal with a similar situation. He was in a panic because he had 9 points deducted during his probationary period, was caught speeding, and got photographed. I told him that there's absolutely no way to carry over the insufficient points to the next year within the scoring cycle of the driver's license, and immediately took him to the traffic police station to check the violation records. Nowadays, the 12123 APP makes it quite convenient to check the remaining points in real-time. If you're short on points, you can try the 'Learn and Reduce Points' course—passing the exam can get you 6 points back. Additionally, non-point-deducting violations like illegal parking can be dealt with later, prioritizing those that deduct points. If you've already accumulated 12 points before the cycle ends, you must retake the subject one exam immediately. Delaying will only affect next year's driver's license review.

I just dealt with my traffic violations last month, and I almost had to retake the test because my points were insufficient. Never leave insufficient points to the next year, as each demerit point cycle is calculated independently, and violations from the current cycle must be processed within the same cycle. It is recommended to check all violation records immediately and prioritize handling high-point violations. If you really can't finish processing them, try to participate in the traffic management department's point-reduction courses before the cycle ends. Passing the exam can help recover some points. Never think of postponing it to the next year—the system will automatically carry over unprocessed demerit points from the current cycle to the new one, and by the time you realize it, your license might be suspended.
