How Long Can You Delay Taking the Subject One Test After Losing 12 Points?

After accumulating 12 penalty points on your driver's license, you must attend a seven-day course on road traffic safety laws at the traffic management department of the public security authority in the jurisdiction where the license was issued or where the violation occurred within 15 days. If you refuse to participate in the study or take the test: The vehicle management office will announce the suspension of your driver's license within 15 days. According to regulations: The driver must attend a seven-day course on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge at the traffic management department of the public security authority in the jurisdiction where the license was issued or where the violation occurred within 15 days. After completing the course, the vehicle management office must administer a test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge within 20 days. If the test is passed, the penalty points will be cleared, and the driver's license will be returned.
When I had 12 points deducted, I was too busy with work to take it seriously and delayed signing up for nearly 20 days, which resulted in a fine and a warning. Actually, the regulation requires you to register with the traffic management department within 15 days of receiving the notice to participate in the study session, and the test is scheduled within a week after the study ends. Delaying the process could lead to your driver's license being revoked, forcing you to relearn driving, which wastes both time and money. I recommend not delaying more than two weeks at most. After registering, you can still find time to review the knowledge for Subject 1, focusing on safe driving rules. Looking back, acting promptly would have saved a lot of hassle, and now I drive more carefully. Don’t procrastinate like I did to avoid regrets.
