How long can the annual review of a driver's license with demerit points be postponed?

Driver's license annual review can be delayed for no more than one year and still undergo normal review. Below is relevant information about driver's licenses: 1. Introduction: The full name of a driver's license is the motor vehicle driver's license, which is a certificate required by law for individuals who drive motor vehicles. Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills, and those lacking such skills may cause traffic accidents if they drive recklessly. Generally, individuals cannot drive on the road without a license. However, for those who have mastered safe driving skills, the document that permits them to drive on the road is the "driver's license." This indicates that a driver's license is a "license permit." 2. Examination Content: The test subjects include traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, and road driving (including safe and civilized driving), totaling three subjects. Before each subject test, an appointment must be made (special circumstances may be scheduled through the driving test green channel), and the test is taken after the appointment.
As a friend who frequently pays attention to driving safety, I've checked the relevant regulations. After receiving demerit points on your driver's license, an annual review or educational verification is required, especially for drivers with Class A or B licenses—this cannot be casually postponed. Generally, the verification must be completed within 30 days after the end of the scoring cycle. If this deadline is exceeded and left unaddressed, you may face fines, suspension of your driver's license, or even revocation. I've seen many drivers penalized because they were too busy with work or forgot the deadline, resulting in hundreds of yuan in fines and the need to retake exams. Remember to promptly check reminders or schedule training sessions via the Traffic Management 12123 app to avoid delays. Safety always comes first—small issues left unattended can lead to major mistakes. Completing the verification on time is a responsible habit for both yourself and others.
As a seasoned driver with over a decade of experience who has undergone several point-deduction annual reviews, I must inform you that there is absolutely no official leeway for postponing the point-deduction annual review—it must be completed within 30 days. Delaying it not only incurs fines starting from a couple hundred yuan but also leaves a record in your driving file, which can affect future license renewals or insurance. In practice, I strongly advise against risking even a few days' delay. Even if you're busy on weekdays, make sure to book an online training course in advance. When checking your license status, don’t forget to verify its validity period. On related topics, paying more attention to traffic rules, avoiding running red lights or speeding is key to preventing point deductions. Developing good driving habits is far better than dealing with the consequences afterward.
