Can you still drive with only 3 points left on your driver's license?

[McMadeline]

You can still drive with 3 points left on your driver's license. However, if you accumulate 12 penalty points, the traffic management department of the public security organ will confiscate your driver's license. The driver must attend a seven-day study session on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge, followed by an examination, within 15 days at the traffic management department of the public security organ where the driver's license was issued or where the violation occurred. Below is additional information: 1. Order No. 139 of the Ministry of Public Security of the People's Republic of China: 'The Decision of the Ministry of Public Security on Amending the Regulations' has been passed at the executive meeting of the Minister of Public Security and is hereby promulgated, effective from April 1, 2016. 2. Article 68: If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 penalty points within a scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall confiscate the driver's license. After the driver completes the study session, the vehicle management office must conduct an examination on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge within 20 days. If the examination is passed, the penalty points will be cleared, and the driver's license will be returned. If the examination is not passed, the driver must continue to study and take the examination. If the driver refuses to attend the study session or take the examination, the traffic management department of the public security organ will announce the suspension of the driver's license.
