How many points can be added to a driver's license in one year?
2 Answers
One person can add a maximum of 15 points per year. Point addition system: This point addition system is only applicable to certain regions, such as Guangzhou car owners, who can currently report other car owners' violations to add points to their own driver's license. However, it should be noted that a maximum of 5 reports of other car owners' violations can be made per year; additionally, these points cannot be combined with the 12 points within the scoring cycle. Scoring cycle: A driver's license has a scoring cycle of 12 points. If all 12 points are deducted, the owner must undergo further study and then take an exam. Currently, the driver's license implements a point addition system, meaning that the scoring cycle of a driver's license is no longer limited to just 12 points.
I've been driving for over twenty years and always feel there are common misunderstandings about the driver's license issue. In fact, the license doesn't have a point-adding function. It operates on a 12-month cycle starting from the date you obtained it, with a total of 12 points allocated. Each violation, such as running a red light (6 points deducted) or not wearing a seatbelt (1 point deducted), reduces your points. Once all points are deducted, you must retake courses and exams to regain your driving privileges. I personally experienced a minor violation once, which made me realize how important safe driving is—regularly checking your speed and avoiding phone calls while driving can save you a lot of trouble. At the end of the year, if you still have points left, they will automatically reset, and the cycle starts anew. Remember, this isn't a game to earn points but a safety net to protect you and others. Don't drive recklessly—losing all your points would be time-consuming and costly to resolve.
