How Many Points Left on Driver's License Require a Test?
1 Answers
The demerit point cycle for a driver's license is 12 months. If a driver accumulates 12 or more demerit points within one cycle, the traffic management department of the public security authority shall confiscate their motor vehicle driver's license. The driver must attend a seven-day full-point study session within 15 days and then take the Subject 1 test. Below is more information about driver's licenses: 1. If a driver accumulates 12 points or more twice within one cycle or accumulates 24 points or more, they must not only pass the Subject 1 test but also take the Subject 3 test within ten days after passing. Upon passing, the demerit points will be cleared, and the motor vehicle driver's license will be returned. If a driver accumulates fewer than 12 points within one cycle, the points will be cleared once the fines are paid. However, if there are unpaid fines, the points will carry over to the next cycle. 2. Due to the long validity period of driver's licenses, some drivers may forget to renew them. Drivers should apply for renewal at the vehicle management office where the license was issued within 90 days before its expiration. If a license is not renewed for more than one year after expiration, it will be revoked. If a license is revoked for more than one year but less than two years, its normal use can be restored by passing the Subject 1 test. If revoked for more than two years, the driver must reapply for a new license.
