How Long Is the Study Period for Traffic Violation Point Reduction?

Generally, the fastest is three days, while the slowest may take about one to two weeks. Below is extended information about traffic violation point reduction: Prerequisites for Point Reduction: Not all drivers are eligible for point reduction through study. It requires having incurred demerit points from traffic violations. In other words, if there are no violations or points deducted, there is no need to use this method for study or point deduction. Additionally, point reduction cannot be applied immediately after a violation. The violation must first be confirmed, fines paid, and points deducted from the driver's license before point reduction through study can be used. Limitations of Point Reduction: Whether points are earned through direct training and exams or accumulated through public welfare activities, both types of points can be combined but cannot exceed the total points on the driver's license. Moreover, within one scoring cycle, a maximum of six points can be deducted through study. Beyond six points, no further points can be earned through study. The combined points from both methods cannot exceed six; any excess is invalid.

Last year I tried the 'Study to Reduce Points' program, and the whole process was quite simple, with a typical study cycle of 7 days. Starting from when you register on the app, it takes about a week to complete the learning tasks, requiring a cumulative study time of over 30 minutes in total. I spent 5 to 10 minutes each day watching videos or answering questions, all related to traffic safety knowledge, such as common violations and preventive measures. Before the cycle ends, you need to pass a small test, and if you qualify, you can reduce 1 point. I think the time frame is quite reasonable—it doesn’t interfere with daily tasks and also helps refresh traffic rules to avoid reaching the 12-point limit. Remember to use the official app like 12123, and don’t forget to save your progress regularly. The entire cycle is too short to be useful for point recovery, and too long will cause it to expire, so it’s best to plan your time and not leave it until the last day.

The standard learning cycle for the 'Study to Reduce Points' program is set at 7 days, in accordance with current traffic regulations. The cycle begins from the first login to the learning platform, and all required study hours and tests must be completed within these 7 days. You need to accumulate a total of 30 minutes of study, covering topics such as road safety rules and accident case studies, and pass a closed-book exam. This cycle is designed to be compact to avoid occupying too much of your time and energy. From my experience, the short cycle is easy to manage but should not be interrupted, otherwise you'll have to start over. Key points: The program can be done up to 6 times a year, with 1 point deducted each time, and can be combined with driver training to improve safety levels. Prepare your documents in advance to avoid getting stuck during registration. The cycle is flexible and adjustable, making it suitable for working professionals to study during evenings.

I just completed the 'Learn to Reduce Points' program last month, and the cycle was only 7 days—not too long, not too short, just right. Spend some time learning safety tips on the app, accumulate over half an hour of content, then pass the exam to reduce points. The short cycle is great because you can finish quickly without affecting your driving, but don’t procrastinate. I used spare time to study, like during my commute. Important note: Don’t start the cycle during a period when you’ve been penalized. I think this rule is reasonable, as it helps prevent serious violations like running red lights. Just complete it within 7 days—easy and stress-free.
