Does the 12-point driving license automatically reset every year?
2 Answers
The 12 points on a driving license are automatically reset on the annual anniversary date of the license issuance. Below is an introduction to driving licenses: 1. Introduction: A driving license (full name: motor vehicle driving license), also referred to as a "driver's license," is an official document issued by government transportation authorities to individuals qualified to drive motor vehicles, typically in the form of a card. 2. Requirements: To obtain a driving license, one must meet the minimum age requirement and pass a driving test. The license usually specifies the types of motor vehicles the holder is permitted to drive, such as motorcycles, passenger cars, trucks, buses, etc. 3. Regulations: For first-time applicants in a temporary residence location, they can apply for a driving license that permits driving small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled cars, small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, or light motorcycles.
The driver's license points are not automatically reset on January 1st every year. They are calculated based on the date you obtained your license, with a 12-month cycle. At the end of that cycle, if your points have not been deducted to 12 or more, they will automatically reset to 12 points. For example, if I got my license in May, the points will refresh every May. However, if 12 points or more are deducted, the license will be revoked, and you will have to retake the traffic rules exam. So, you can't just wait for the automatic reset; you must drive according to the rules. Checking your phone while driving is easily caught on camera, and safety is the top priority to reduce the risk of accidents.
