Can You Drive with Three Traffic Violations?
2 Answers
If you have more than three unpaid traffic violations and are caught by traffic police while driving, your driver's license may be confiscated, and in severe cases, your vehicle may be impounded. Below is relevant information: 1. Handling Method: Currently, when dealing with vehicle violations, the owner must bring their driver's license and vehicle registration to any traffic police station or administrative processing center in the area where the violation occurred or where the vehicle is registered. 2. Out-of-Area Violations: For out-of-area violations, it is best to go to the traffic police station in the area where the violation occurred to handle the matter, to prevent the situation where the violation record cannot be cleared if processed locally. After the owner pays the fine, data exchange between the traffic police station and the bank occurs approximately once a week, so it generally takes about a week for the violation record to show as 'processed.'
I've been driving for almost twenty years, so I know this stuff inside out. Three penalty points? No big deal, you can still drive legally! The total score on your license is 12 points, and losing 3 points isn't a major issue—you're still a lawful driver. The counting cycle starts from the day you got your license and resets annually. Just watch your speed and avoid illegal parking to minimize deductions. Last year, I had a few points too and kept driving without trouble. But don’t get complacent—if you rack up 11 points and commit another violation, you’ll have to pause driving for a refresher course. Safety first! It’s best to check your points regularly on the traffic police app to ensure no mistakes. Maintain safe distances, avoid road conflicts, and reduce violation risks. Bottom line: three points won’t stop you, but drive responsibly.
