How is the driver's license points cycle calculated?

[LaDaniela]

Road traffic safety violation points accumulate over a 12-month cycle, with a maximum of 12 points. The cycle starts from the date of the first issuance of the license and repeats accordingly. The driver's points clearance date is the issuance date on the license, with automatic points clearance occurring annually on this date. For drivers who accumulate between 12 to 24 points for the first time, passing the subject one test is sufficient to clear the traffic violation points. The period from the date of the driver's first license issuance to the day before the same date the following year constitutes one traffic violation points cycle.
