How long after a 50% speeding license suspension can you retake the test?

Having your driver's license suspended for speeding falls under other circumstances where the license is revoked by law. You can retake the test after 2 years. According to regulations, the following situations disqualify you from applying for a driver's license: having your license revoked for drunk driving or driving a commercial vehicle under the influence of alcohol within the past five years, or having your license revoked for drunk driving a commercial vehicle within the past ten years. More relevant information: speed limit signs and markings indicate that vehicles on the road must not exceed the speed indicated by these signs and markings. Maximum driving speed: on roads without speed limit signs or markings, vehicles must not exceed the following maximum speeds.
I was speeding 50% over the limit that time, and my driver's license got revoked. I regretted it so much. According to the rules, I have to wait two years before I can retake the test—it's clearly written in the 'Road Traffic Safety Law.' You know, having your license revoked is no joke. During this period, you can't even touch a car, let alone drive. When you retake the test, you have to pay the fees again and retake both the theory exam (Subject 1) and the road test (Subject 3), which are even stricter than before. The worst part is that this violation record stays in your file, and your car insurance premiums will go up significantly in the future. So now, I always drive with navigation to remind me of speed limits—speeding just isn't worth it, costing money and causing trouble.
Buddy, let me tell you, if you exceed the speed limit by more than 50%, you'll basically face two years of driving without a license. During these two years, don't even think about driving secretly. Nowadays, there are surveillance cameras everywhere, and if you get caught again, you might end up in jail. When you retake the driving test, it's best to study the questions in advance. The current traffic regulations test has 30% more questions than before. My cousin failed the theoretical test twice in a row last year when he retook it. Honestly, the most troublesome part is the inconvenience of commuting to work and picking up kids during the license suspension period. I now have my wife drive me around. Oh, and when you reapply, remember to bring your ID card and a copy of the penalty decision. The lines at the DMV window are ridiculously long.
Last time I heard from a relative in the traffic police that if your license is revoked for speeding over 50%, you won't be able to apply for a new driver's license within two years. During this period, to restore your eligibility, you must wait a full 24 months and then go to the DMV to complete the registration process. The key is you'll have to pass two hurdles: the theory test now includes a new defensive driving question bank, and the field test has added a simulated slippery road section. It's recommended to enroll in a short-term training course at a driving school before retaking the test. Some driving schools now offer a retraining package for just 1800 yuan with a pass guarantee. Be reminded that after passing the retest, there's a 12-month probation period before you can drive on highways.
