How Long Does It Take to Clear a Full-Point Record?

[StRichard]

All exams of the full-point education must be completed and verified before the record can be cleared. If a driver's license accumulates 12 penalty points, the driver must apply for full-point education and exams. First, they need to provide the "Motor Vehicle Driver Traffic Violation Full-Point Education Notice" issued by the traffic management department (the traffic police team that issued the ticket) in the violation location. Then, they must complete the relevant procedures at the vehicle management office in either the violation location or the license issuance location. Additionally, they must pay the fine at the designated bank within 15 days of receiving the ticket. Relevant legal provisions: If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 penalty points within one scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security authority shall confiscate their motor vehicle driver's license. The motor vehicle driver must report to the traffic management department of the public security authority in either the license issuance location or the violation location within 15 days to attend a seven-day study session on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. After completing the study, the vehicle management office must administer an exam on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge within 20 days. If the driver passes the exam, the penalty points will be cleared, and the driver's license will be returned. If the driver fails the exam, they must continue studying and retake the exam. If the driver refuses to attend the study session or take the exam, the traffic management department of the public security authority will announce the suspension of their motor vehicle driver's license. If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 penalty points or more twice within one scoring cycle or accumulates 24 penalty points or more, the vehicle management office must also administer a road driving skills exam within 10 days after the driver passes the exam on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. The road driving skills exam will be based on the highest vehicle class permitted by the driver's license.

I've been driving for over a decade, so I'm quite familiar with this. A full-point driving license record usually refers to accumulating 12 demerit points, and the clearance time varies by individual. First, you need to register for a theoretical study course at the traffic police department, which takes about three to five days of classes. After passing the exam, your points will be reset; however, that negative record will remain in the system for about a year before being completely cleared. If not handled promptly, it may lead to extensions or affect next year's insurance premiums. I advise friends to obey traffic rules while driving—don't speed, don't drink and drive, and reduce violations to avoid trouble. I've seen many fellow drivers get delayed due to too many points, but the learning process is actually quite beneficial as it helps review safety knowledge.
