How long does it take for a motorcycle driver's license to be invalidated after deducting 12 points?

If a motorcycle driver's license is deducted 12 points, the driver can attend a 7-day study session at the traffic police station and retake the subject one exam to restore the license. Scoring cycle regulations: The scoring cycle is one year. At the end of a scoring cycle, if the accumulated points do not reach 12, the points for that cycle will be canceled and not carried over to the next cycle. If the points in a scoring cycle reach 12, the traffic police department will notify the driver or send a letter to the driver's address on the license to inform them to take the exam. Failure to comply with regulations: It is understood that if a driver accumulates 12 points in a scoring cycle, they must undergo study and a written test once. If a driver accumulates more than 24 points in a scoring cycle, they must take both a written test and a road test once. The traffic police department reminds that vehicles with unprocessed traffic violations should complete the necessary procedures with the traffic police department as soon as possible. Failure to accept processing without a valid reason within the deadline will result in the revocation of the driver's license.
I previously had my motorcycle license revoked for accumulating 12 penalty points, and the traffic police confiscated my license on the spot. According to regulations, I had to enroll in a training course at the vehicle management office within 15 days, which required attending 7 consecutive days of traffic law classes. If I delayed and failed to register within 15 days, my license would be suspended by public notice. After completing the classes, I also had to retake the written test (Subject 1). Only after passing the test could I retrieve my license and continue using it. I recommend not delaying and handling it as soon as possible, as riding without a valid license could result in penalties for unlicensed driving, including detention and fines.
Last year, my friend got caught speeding on his motorcycle and had all 12 points deducted immediately. The next day, he rushed to the DMV to check in, first receiving a study notice, then attending classes from dawn to dusk for the next seven days. The key point is the 15-day deadline: if you fail to register within this period, the system automatically locks your license. The written test (Subject 1) isn’t actually difficult, but you need to study the questions diligently—the pass rate here is 80%. If you fail twice in a row, additional training is required. Remember not to procrastinate on this, or you’ll face even more hassle retaking the entire license exam.
