Generally, one can retake the subject one test one week after losing 12 points on the driver's license. Below are the clauses for traffic violations that result in a 12-point deduction: 1. Driving a motor vehicle that does not match the permitted vehicle type. 2. Operating a commercial passenger vehicle (excluding buses) or school bus that carries more than 20% over the approved capacity. 3. Fleeing the scene of a traffic accident without constituting a crime. 4. Driving a motor vehicle on the road without displaying a license plate, or intentionally obscuring, damaging, or failing to install the license plate as required. 5. Driving medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicles, school buses, or hazardous material transport vehicles exceeding the speed limit by more than 20% on highways or urban expressways, or exceeding the speed limit by more than 50% on other roads, as well as driving other motor vehicles exceeding the speed limit by more than 50%.

Right after I got 12 demerit points, my driver's license was immediately confiscated by the traffic police. They said I could only sign up for traffic rules courses within 15 days. After enrolling, I studied for about 7 days, memorizing regulations daily—the content was quite dull but necessary. On the day I finished the course, I was scheduled to take the Theory Test (Subject 1), which I passed on my first try. I got my license back the next day. The whole process took less than three weeks, which was pretty quick. But I’d remind everyone not to follow my example of reckless speeding. Safety comes first, and relearning the traffic rules actually helped me break my bad habits.

My colleague had 12 points deducted last year and his driver's license was suspended. He immediately went to the traffic station to register within 15 days. The learning course was a 7-day full-time program, covering traffic regulations and some accident cases. Upon completion, he took the subject one test, and after passing it smoothly, his driver's license was restored. The whole process took about two weeks. If delayed or failed, the situation would have been worse. Always follow traffic rules when driving, otherwise, you're just causing unnecessary trouble for yourself.

After deducting 12 points from your driver's license, you must attend traffic regulations study within 15 days, which lasts about 7 days. After completing the study, you will directly take the subject one test, and your license will be restored upon passing. I've seen people delay handling it, but taking action as soon as possible saves time. The whole process is concise and efficient.

From common scenarios, accumulating 12 penalty points leads to temporary driver's license suspension. Regulations require attending traffic rules courses within 15 days. The study period typically lasts 7 days, covering fundamental regulations before taking the Theory Test (Subject 1). License reinstatement occurs immediately upon passing the exam. I recommend handling this promptly to avoid disrupting daily routines.

After having 12 points deducted, I signed up for a 7-day traffic regulation course within 15 days. The curriculum included safe driving knowledge, and I passed the written test smoothly after completing it. The entire process was completed within two weeks. To avoid repeating the same mistake, I now drive more compliantly with the rules.
