How often does the 12-point driving license renew?
2 Answers
Driving license points renew every 12 months. According to the regulations on the application and use of motor vehicle driving licenses: The cumulative scoring cycle for road traffic safety violations (i.e., the scoring cycle) is 12 months, with a full score of 12 points, calculated from the date the motor vehicle driving license is first issued. The full name of the driving license is the motor vehicle driving license, also known as the "driver's license," which is a document issued by the government's transportation department to individuals qualified to drive motor vehicles, usually in the form of a card. To obtain a driving license, one must meet the age requirements and pass a driving test. The driving license typically specifies the types of motor vehicles the holder is allowed to drive, such as motorcycles, passenger cars, trucks, buses, etc.
I've been driving for over ten years, and the 12 points on my driver's license are renewed every year. I remember they automatically reset to full points in the early hours of New Year's Day. Last year, I was deducted 3 points for forgetting to bring my insurance policy, but within a few weeks, the new year came and the points were replenished. I think this design is quite reasonable, giving drivers a chance to correct their mistakes. Actually, there are many reasons for point deductions, such as speeding or illegal parking, but the annual refresh is reassuring. If you accumulate a full 12 points consecutively, you'll have to go to the traffic management office for study and exams, which is time-consuming and laborious. I recommend everyone drive safely, avoid running yellow lights or drunk driving, and follow the rules to protect their points. I often hear on traffic radio that this system is meant to encourage good habits, but I believe every driver should be self-disciplined. An old classmate of mine had to retake the test because he didn’t have enough points—it was a huge hassle.
