How often is the driver's license point reset?

[GenevieveMarie]

A driver's license has a scoring cycle of 12 months with a full score of 12 points, calculated from the initial issuance date of the license. For example, if the license was issued on January 1st, then every year on this date, the points on the license will be reset. This cycle continues indefinitely. More detailed information is as follows: 1. Point Reset Method: If the penalty points accumulated during a scoring cycle do not reach 12 points, the scoring system will automatically reset the points from the previous cycle (after paying the fines) at the start of the next scoring cycle. If the points reach 12, the driver must attend a learning session and pass the subject one exam at the local vehicle management office where the license was issued or where the violation occurred (if the points reach 12 twice consecutively in one scoring cycle, the subject three exam must also be passed after upgrading the license). Only then can the points be reset. Otherwise, the driver's license cannot be used normally. 2. Legal Basis: According to Article 25 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law," if a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 points and refuses to attend the learning session notified by the traffic management department of the public security organ or to take the exam, the traffic management department of the public security organ will announce the suspension of the driver's license.

The driver's license points are refreshed once a year, starting from the date you obtained your license. For example, if you got your license on May 1st last year, the scoring cycle would run from that day until April 30th this year, after which the points are automatically reset to 12. If you accidentally accumulate too many points, you'll need to attend a course and pass an exam to regain your driving privileges. Having driven for over a decade, I've noticed many people forget their license issuance date, leading to regret only after accumulating too many points. Therefore, I recommend setting a reminder in your phone calendar to check your points status annually. Combined with obeying traffic rules—no speeding or running red lights—safety comes first, saving you money and hassle. Developing good habits is crucial for everyday driving.

When chatting with friends about driver's license point renewal, I directly mentioned that it refreshes once a year. Specifically, it starts counting from the date the driver's license was issued and automatically resets after 12 months. If too many points are deducted, you might have to suspend driving and retake the theory test (Subject 1). By paying attention to traffic violations while driving, you can maintain a higher point balance. The renewal cycle is fixed unless you replace your license or encounter special circumstances, but generally, it doesn't change. Most people check their point records on apps or platforms in advance to avoid risks and ensure road safety more easily.

Driving points are reset at the end of each scoring cycle, which is a 12-month period starting from the date you obtained your license. When the cycle ends, the points are reset to zero, and you start fresh with 12 points. Accumulating too many penalty points may lead to the hassle of retaking tests. Follow traffic signals while driving to reduce violations, so you can drive with peace of mind after the points reset.

The driver's license points are refreshed annually, based on the date of license issuance to determine the cycle. For example, if the license was issued on March 15th, the cycle ends on March 14th of the following year, and the points are automatically reset on that day. If you accumulate full points, you must undergo study and examination to restore them. We remind everyone to pay attention to the rules on the road and avoid distractions. The points cycle is generally stable unless there is a change in the license, which is rare. It is advisable to record the date in advance to maintain safe driving.
