How soon must I retake the test after my driver's license has been deducted 12 points?

After accumulating 12 penalty points on your driver's license and completing the 7-day study period, you must take the subject one test within 20 days. According to Article 68 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses': If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 penalty points within one scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall detain their motor vehicle driver's license. Introduction to Driver's License: The Motor Vehicle Driver's License of the People's Republic of China, abbreviated as driver's license or 'driving license,' is a mandatory certification issued to motor vehicle drivers in accordance with the laws of the People's Republic of China. Examination Content: The test subjects include three items: traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, and road driving (including safe and civilized driving).
Once I was caught speeding and got 12 points deducted, resulting in my driver's license being suspended immediately. The traffic police informed me that I had to report to the DMV for mandatory education within 15 days. I panicked and took leave to go there right away. They arranged a 7-day traffic regulation course, where I attended lectures and took tests every morning. Although it was a bit tedious, it was quite useful, and I got to know other drivers and chatted with them. After passing the exam, my license was restored quickly. But I suggest not delaying—if you miss the 15-day deadline, your license might get revoked, and retaking the test would cost extra. Always pay attention to speed limits and drive safely. Driving is no small matter—once an accident happens, it's too late for regrets.
