Does a cumulative score of 3 points mean 3 points have been deducted?

[EvangelineFitz]

A cumulative score of 3 points on a driver's license means 3 points have already been deducted; the driver's license originally starts with 0 points, and points are recorded for traffic violations. Scoring cycle: The cumulative scoring cycle for traffic violations (i.e., the scoring cycle) is 12 months, with a maximum of 12 points, calculated from the date the driver's license is first issued. Scoring categories: Based on the severity of traffic violations, the points deducted at one time can be: 12 points, 6 points, 3 points, 2 points, or 1 point. Scoring regulations: For a driver's traffic violations, penalties and point deductions are executed simultaneously. If a driver commits more than one violation at a time, the points are calculated separately and then accumulated.

A cumulative score of 3 points means your driver's license has already been deducted 3 points, which usually happens when you're caught by traffic police for violations like speeding or running a red light. I remember when I first got my license, I accidentally exceeded the speed limit once and got penalized with points—it was quite annoying because if the accumulated points reach 12, you have to retake the written exam (Subject One). I recommend checking your license point status as soon as possible; you can use the 12123 app to check directly. Don’t wait until the points pile up and cause bigger trouble. When driving, pay more attention to speed, avoid rushing, and develop the habit of checking road signs in advance to reduce deductions. Remember, point deductions aren’t just about fines—they may also affect your future car insurance rates. Handling it early can help you avoid a lot of hassle.

Well, indeed, accumulating 3 points means you've been deducted 3 points, which I've encountered quite often during my years of driving, like being caught for speeding or occupying the wrong lane. As someone who's been driving for many years, I've picked up a few tricks: regularly use map apps to set speed reminders, and don't always rush for the last few seconds of a green light, because a single slip-up can add points. If too many points are deducted, you could face a 12-point suspension and have to attend classes—I've seen some friends almost get caught in that situation. It's best to check your points regularly to prevent small issues from escalating. Following the rules in daily driving actually makes things easier.

A cumulative score of 3 points means your driver's license has been deducted 3 points, indicating you already have a traffic violation record that led to the point reduction. This is called the demerit point system in traffic laws—for example, running a red light deducts 6 points, while speeding may deduct 3 points. Don't delay; promptly handle it through the traffic police website or app, because reaching 12 points will have serious consequences.
