How long will a driver's license be invalid if 23 points are deducted?
2 Answers
A driver's license with 23 points deducted will be confiscated by the traffic management department of the public security organ, and the driver will be required to take the subject one exam and undergo study. If a motor vehicle driver has two or more instances of reaching 12 points or accumulates 24 points or more within one scoring cycle, the vehicle management office must also conduct a road driving skills test within ten days after the driver passes the examination on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Additional information: For drivers holding a license for large buses, trailers, city buses, medium-sized buses, or large trucks, the vehicle management office shall revoke their highest permitted driving qualification under any of the following circumstances and notify the driver to complete the downgrade and license replacement procedure within 30 days: 1. Being involved in a traffic accident resulting in death and bearing equal or greater responsibility without constituting a crime; 2. Having a record of accumulating 12 points within one scoring cycle; 3. Failing to participate in the inspection for three consecutive scoring cycles.
I've checked the relevant information, and having 23 points deducted from your driver's license won't immediately invalidate it, but improper handling can be very troublesome. According to regulations, accumulating 12 points requires attending a 7-day traffic safety course at the vehicle management office within 15 days, followed by retaking the subject one test. With 23 points deducted, it means exceeding 12 points but not reaching 24 points, so you only need to retake the subject one test. The key is that this 15-day deadline is particularly important. If missed, the vehicle management office will announce the suspension of your driver's license, temporarily invalidating it. More seriously, if you fail to address it for three consecutive years, your driver's license will be completely revoked. Additionally, it's important to note that any outstanding fines for traffic violations must be paid during the handling process. So, don't delay—sign up for the test immediately upon receiving the notice.
