Can traffic violations before the score reset be handled after the reset?

Traffic violation points incurred before the driver's license score reset can be handled after the reset date. If a motor vehicle driver's accumulated points within a scoring cycle do not reach 12 points, and all fines have been paid, the points will be cleared. If the accumulated points do not reach 12 points but there are unpaid fines, the points will carry over to the next scoring cycle. If a motor vehicle driver's accumulated points reach 12 points or more twice within a scoring cycle, in addition to having their driver's license confiscated, attending training, and taking exams as stipulated in Article 23, they must also undergo a driving skills test. Driver's license point deductions are penalties for traffic violations. Depending on the severity of the violation, points can range from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 12 per offense. The scoring cycle corresponds to one inspection period. If a driver accumulates 12 points in one cycle, they lose their driving privileges and must typically undergo no less than 7 days of traffic safety education. Only after passing the exam can their driving privileges be restored.

I've encountered similar issues before. Traffic violations before the points reset can indeed be handled afterward, but this depends on specific traffic regulations. The demerit points incurred at the time of the violation will be attributed to the scoring cycle when the violation occurred. For example, if you're caught speeding in the middle of your annual cycle, even if you delay paying the fine until after the cycle ends, the points deducted will still count towards the old cycle and won't carry over to the new one. However, delaying the process might carry risks, such as accumulating late fees in some areas or forgetting to handle it, leading to point stacking and affecting license renewal. I think it's best to deal with violations promptly to avoid unnecessary stress. Especially when driving, focusing on following the rules is most important to save trouble. Regularly checking your violation records is a good habit—using a mobile app makes it convenient to ensure everything is under control.

Once I was caught for a traffic violation while driving, and I delayed handling it for two months. At that time, the scoring cycle had just ended. I went to the traffic police station to pay the fine, and the staff said the points would still be counted in the previous cycle, not affecting the new cycle's score. This shows that handling it after the score reset is acceptable, but don't delay too long in case late fees increase and cause trouble. I recommend checking the local app or online platform, where you can enter your license plate number to see violation details and validity periods. Develop the habit of handling violations on time, don't wait until just before the score reset to deal with them all at once—it can get messy. Actually, staying focused while driving is the simplest way to reduce violations, safety first after all.

Traffic violations before the points reset can be handled after the reset, but the deducted points will still count towards the original cycle. Don't procrastinate to save trouble, or the fine may increase, or you may forget and accumulate points, causing bigger problems. It's recommended to handle it directly online or at a service point for a worry-free and safe experience.
