Can traffic violations before the driver's license cycle be handled after the cycle?

Traffic violation points incurred before the driver's license score reset can be handled after the reset date. Other situations: However, if there are unpaid fines for recorded points, these points will not be cleared in the next scoring cycle. The next scoring cycle will accumulate points on top of these, and so on. If the points exceed 12, the driver will need to undergo training to eliminate them. Scoring cycle: If the points within a scoring cycle do not reach 12 and all fines are paid before the end of the cycle, the system will automatically reset the points at the start of the next scoring cycle. Important notes: No annual review is required during the 6-year validity period of the driver's license. Drivers should apply for a license renewal at the local traffic police branch within 90 days before the expiration date.
After driving for so many years, I think it depends on the situation. It's completely fine to delay handling traffic violations until after the license cycle, but the key is when you go to pay the fine and deal with it. For example, last month I ran a red light which should deduct 6 points. If my demerit point cycle ends on December 31st this year and I delay handling it until January next year, then these 6 points will be counted in next year's cycle. However, there are two things to note: one is that on-the-spot tickets must be handled within 15 days, otherwise a 3% late fee per day will be charged; the other is that all violations must be cleared before the vehicle's annual inspection. Once during an annual inspection, I found an unpaid parking violation from three years ago and had to pay over 200 yuan in late fees, which was heartbreaking.
