How Long in Advance Should Points Be Cleared from a Driver's License?
1 Answers
Points on a driver's license should be cleared one year in advance. Below is expanded information on point clearance: 1. The cumulative scoring cycle for road traffic safety violations (i.e., the scoring cycle) is 12 months, with a full score of 12 points. It is calculated from the date the driver's license was initially issued and continues to cycle in this manner. The clearance date for points on a driver's license is the issuance date on the license, and the system automatically clears the points on that date each year. 2. If the penalty points incurred for violations within a scoring cycle do not reach 12 points, the scoring system will automatically reset the points from the previous cycle (after fines are paid) at the start of the next scoring cycle. 3. If the full 12 points are incurred, the driver must attend a study session and take a subject test at the vehicle management office where the license was issued or at the office where the violation occurred.
