Does the score reset to twelve points after license renewal?

No, the score does not reset to 12 points immediately after license renewal. Instead, at the end of a scoring cycle, if all traffic violations have been processed, the system will automatically clear the points and start anew. Below are the relevant legal provisions: 1. Article 65: The cumulative scoring cycle for road traffic safety violations (i.e., the scoring cycle) is 12 months, with a maximum of 12 points, calculated from the date the motor vehicle driver's license is first issued. Depending on the severity of the road traffic safety violation, the points deducted in a single instance can be one of five levels: 12 points, 6 points, 3 points, 2 points, or 1 point. 2. Article 68: If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 points within a scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall detain their motor vehicle driver's license. If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 points or more twice within a scoring cycle or accumulates 24 points or more, the vehicle management office shall also conduct a road driving skills test within ten days after the driver passes the examination on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. For those taking the road driving skills test, the test shall be conducted according to the highest permissible vehicle type specified on their motor vehicle driver's license.

As a veteran driver with over a decade of experience, I've gone through several license renewal processes. I remember during my first renewal, I thought my points would reset to 12, but to my disappointment, they remained unchanged. It was only later that I understood the points system operates on a cycle, typically resetting automatically at the end of the year, provided you haven't accumulated 12 points. Renewing your license is simply about updating the card's validity period, such as transitioning from a six-year to a ten-year version, and this process doesn't affect point accumulation. Don't make the mistake of thinking renewal can 'wipe clean' your points; I recommend regularly checking your points via the Traffic Management 12123 app and cultivating safe driving habits to stay protected. This way, you avoid accumulating too many points before the cycle ends and facing potential issues. In short, drive cautiously, as point management is entirely in your hands.

I often discuss this topic with friends, and someone always asks whether the points are refreshed after renewing the license. Actually, no; points are only cleared at the end of a one-year cycle. For example, if your license was issued in January, it will automatically reset the following January. Renewing the license just means getting a new card—the content remains the same. I remind everyone not to be misled, as points are related to safety: getting a speeding ticket and then renewing the license won’t reset the points; they continue accumulating within the cycle. I recommend regularly checking the app or visiting the DMV to check your points to avoid carelessly losing your license. Driving rules must be clear—don’t let misunderstandings lead to accidents.

From a beginner to now, I've understood this rule: Points won't reset to 12 after renewing the license; they are cleared at the end of a fixed cycle, usually at the end of the year. Renewing the license means getting a new card, which doesn't affect the points. For example, if I had 3 points deducted last year, it remains the same after renewing the license. It's advisable to handle traffic violations on time and prioritize safe driving.

I had similar doubts before. Someone told me that renewing the license could reset the points, but upon checking, nothing changed. The point system operates on a cycle basis and only resets at the end of a cycle if the total hasn't reached 12 points. Renewing the license merely updates the physical document, like changing the photo or address, without altering the content. I want to remind everyone not to take chances – reaching the point limit could lead to license suspension and retesting. Checking points is easy, just use the app or website. Always drive safely and wait for the cycle reset to feel at ease.

I have personal experience where I found my points unchanged after renewing my license. It turns out points are reset at the end of the scoring cycle, unrelated to license renewal. I emphasize not to confuse this: it affects driving safety; having your license suspended due to maxed-out points would be troublesome. I recommend regularly checking your points and developing a habit of following traffic rules.
