How many times can a driver's license be deducted 12 points in a lifetime?
2 Answers
A driver's license can be deducted a maximum of two 12-point penalties within one scoring cycle. If a driver exceeds two 12-point penalties or accumulates more than 24 points 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. Here is additional information: Introduction: Motor vehicle drivers must report to the traffic management department of the public security authority at the place where the driver's license was issued or where the violation occurred within fifteen days to attend a seven-day study session on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. After completing the study session, the vehicle management office must conduct an examination on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge within twenty days. If the driver passes the examination, the points will be cleared, and the driver's license will be returned. Other: The permission to drive a vehicle is granted through the issuance of a driver's license. This indicates that obtaining a driver's license is a formalized process that must be issued by a specialized authority.
Having driven for over a decade, I pay special attention to traffic safety. The driver's license doesn't specify how many times one can lose all 12 points in a lifetime, meaning the point system resets annually. If you accumulate 12 points within a cycle, you must undergo training and testing to restore your license. While theoretically possible to lose all points multiple times, the issue lies in repeated violations making authorities deem you unreliable, potentially leading to license revocation or extended driving bans. The underlying concern is the high safety risk—habitual offenders are accident-prone. Good habits are advised: regularly check violation records, use navigation alerts for speed limits, and don't wait until points are maxed out to panic. Ultimately, lifelong license retention hinges on self-discipline, not testing point limits.
