Fastest processing time is 27 days. Below are the relevant details: 1. After deducting all 12 points on a driver's license: You should take the "Admission Notice" issued by the traffic police department to register at the school and re-study the corresponding traffic regulations. If the accumulated deduction points exceed 24 points within one scoring cycle, in addition to retaking the subject one exam, you must also retake the subject three exam. 2. Additional information: The cumulative scoring cycle for road traffic safety violations (i.e., the scoring cycle) is 12 months, with a full score of 12 points, calculated from the date the motor vehicle driver's license is initially obtained.
If your driver's license accumulates 12 penalty points, you must go to the vehicle management office within 15 days to complete the study and examination procedures. As a novice driver who went through this last year, I panicked after losing all my points for speeding and running a red light. It was only after checking the regulations that I learned about the 15-day deadline. I delayed until the 10th day to enroll in a 7-day training course, which focused entirely on safety regulations, ending with a written test. Passing it clears your points and restores your driving eligibility; failing to comply on time may result in fines or license suspension, affecting your future. Since then, I've made a habit of checking traffic rule apps and advise all drivers to act immediately without hesitation when points are maxed out.
