The fastest time required to regain a motor vehicle driver's license is ten days. Below are the specific details: Introduction: After a driver's license is deducted 12 points, the driver must report to the traffic management department of the public security authority at the place where the driver's license was issued or where the violation occurred 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 conduct a road traffic safety law, regulation, and knowledge test within 20 days. If the test is passed, the points will be cleared, and the motor vehicle driver's license will be returned. If the test is failed, the driver must continue studying and retake the test. Refusal to participate in the study or take the test will result in the public security traffic management department announcing the suspension of the driver's license. Driver's License Application Conditions: Motor vehicle drivers should apply for a license renewal at the vehicle management office where the driver's license was issued within 90 days before the license expires. When applying, the driver must fill out the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form" and submit the driver's identity proof, the current driver's license, and a medical condition certificate issued by a county-level or higher medical institution or a military medical institution at the regiment level or above.
Last time I got 12 points deducted for speeding, and my driver's license was confiscated on the spot. I had to hurry to register at the driving school within 15 days and attend a 7-day traffic safety course. The course covered traffic regulations, safety knowledge, and other practical stuff. After completing it, I took the theory test (Subject 1), which was easy—all multiple-choice questions. I passed it on my first try, and my license was mailed back to me within a week. The whole process, from losing points to getting my license back, took no more than a month. But I must remind everyone: speeding is too dangerous. Now I never exceed the speed limit—safety first! This kind of experience once is enough. Spending extra time studying is good for driving.
As someone who frequently helps others with driver's license issues, speeding violations resulting in 12 penalty points will lead to license suspension. You must enroll in a traffic regulations study class within 15 days. After 7 days of study, you'll take the subject one exam. Passing the exam will restore your license. The whole process is quite fast—some diligent learners pass in just a few days, while others might delay until the exam deadline. The exam fee is low, so it's advisable to register early to avoid delays. Remember, obeying speed limits is key to avoiding fines and penalties that could disrupt your life.
