How long does it take to restore 12 points after passing the full score exam?
2 Answers
After passing the full score exam, the restoration time for the 12 points is 24:00 on the day before the new scoring cycle, which is 0:00 on the day the new scoring cycle begins. Below is an introduction to the relevant content regarding the deduction of 12 points on a driver's license: 1. Cannot drive: If the driver's license accumulates a deduction of 12 points, driving is not allowed. 2. License suspension: The traffic management department of the public security authority shall suspend the motor vehicle driver's license. 3. Attend training: The motor vehicle driver must attend a seven-day training on road traffic safety laws within fifteen days at the traffic management department of the public security authority where the driver's license was issued or where the violation occurred.
After passing the full-score exam, your points are reset to zero, but you can't immediately regain the full 12 points. You'll have to wait until the start of your next scoring cycle. Each driver's license scoring cycle typically lasts a full year, starting from the date you first obtained your license. For example, last June I had 12 points deducted but passed the test, but since my cycle starts on January 1st, I had to wait from June until the following January to fully recover my 12 points. During those five or six months in between, I drove with extreme caution, terrified of making any mistakes. I recommend checking the initial issuance date on your license to calculate how much time is left in your current cycle—planning ahead can help reduce the waiting period.
