How to Check the Demerit Point System?

[KinsleyFitz]

Log in to the traffic management network to check. Below is relevant information about the demerit point system: 1. Demerit Point Reset: The cumulative demerit point cycle for road traffic safety violations (i.e., the demerit point cycle) is 12 months, with a maximum of 12 points. If you accumulate 12 points, you must attend a study session and pass the subject one exam at the vehicle management office where your driver's license was issued or at the office where the violation occurred to reset your points. Otherwise, your driver's license cannot be used normally. 2. Notes: If you accumulate less than 12 points in a demerit point cycle (12 months from the "initial license date" on your driver's license), simply paying the fine is sufficient. If you accumulate 12 points in a demerit point cycle, you must attend a study session and pass the subject one exam at the issuing vehicle management office or the office where the violation occurred to clear the full-point record and restore the normal use of your driver's license.

I've been driving for almost ten years and often need to check my traffic violation records. It's quite easy to view the point deductions. The most commonly used method for me is the Traffic Management 12123 APP. Simply download, register, log in to your account, and enter your driver's license number and password. It will display all the details of point deductions and the corresponding handling methods. If I don’t want to use my phone, I can also visit the local traffic police station office directly. Just bring my ID card and driver's license, and the counter staff will help me check the details. I also make it a habit to check regularly to prevent exceeding 12 points and risking license suspension—safety always comes first. Some friends use the SMS method by sending specific codes to designated numbers, but the APP provides the fastest and most comprehensive updates. Occasionally making mistakes while driving is inevitable, but timely handling of fines and points can avoid more trouble. Developing good habits is crucial, like reducing risks such as speeding on highways.

When I first got my driver's license, I was curious about whether I had any penalty points deducted. I found the easiest way was to download the 12123 app. After installing and binding my information, I could check score changes in real time. The operation is super simple: open the app, enter your ID number to log in, and select the violation records to see everything at a glance. If you don't have the app installed, searching on the official website of the traffic management bureau is also convenient. After registering an account and entering your driver's license number, the results will be displayed. I also tried following the official WeChat service account, and after binding, it would send push notifications. New drivers should check at least once a month to avoid unexpected accumulation of penalty points. Remember to drive safely and avoid speeding or running red lights, as these minor infractions can quickly add up. Before checking, ensure your network connection is stable to avoid delays. Overall, it takes less than a few minutes, which is quite hassle-free.

As an experienced driver, I find checking penalty points isn't only convenient through mobile apps like 12123. Sometimes visiting the traffic police window near home feels more reassuring. Just bring your driver's license and ID card, queue up for consultation, and staff will print the records on the spot for you to see. Back when smartphones weren't common, calling the hotline also worked—just contact the local traffic service hotline and explain your needs. While official websites or WeChat mini-programs can check, elderly people might find the operation unfamiliar, making in-person visits the most reliable method. Always follow rules to reduce violation risks, like driving within speed limits to keep your record clean. Occasionally check your remaining points, and promptly correct any discrepancies to avoid penalties.
