How to Check the Driver's License Points Reset Time?

[Dias]

Driver's license points reset time is determined based on the date of license issuance. Below are the detailed information regarding driver's license points reset: 1. Points Reset Details: The cumulative demerit point cycle for road traffic safety violations is twelve months, with a full score of twelve points. The calculation starts from the initial issuance date of the motor vehicle driver's license and continues in cycles accordingly. Therefore, the driver's license points reset time is one year after the license issuance date. 2. Notes: If the demerit points accumulated from violations do not reach twelve points, the point system will automatically reset at the beginning of the next cycle. If the points reach twelve, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall confiscate the motor vehicle driver's license.

When I first started driving, I didn’t know how to check the license point reset date either, so I specifically went to the DMV to ask. The scoring cycle starts from the initial license issuance date written on your driver’s license. For example, if I got my license on June 15th, then every June 15th marks the start of a new scoring cycle. The easiest way to find out the exact date is to open the Traffic Management 12123 App, log in, and check the "Driver’s License Information" section, where you’ll see the current scoring cycle’s end date. Also, a reminder: if you have any unresolved traffic violations, the points will accumulate into the cycle when you handle them. So, it’s best to check a few days before the cycle ends to see if you’ve missed any tickets. If you accumulate 12 points within a cycle, you must promptly attend a study session and pass the test to reset your points. I recommend new drivers set a reminder for this date on their phones to avoid exceeding the limit.

I often help friends deal with vehicle violations, so it's important to understand the driver's license scoring cycle. Each cycle lasts a fixed 12 months, starting from the initial license issuance date printed on the back page of the license. For example, if the issuance date is March 10, then the cycle ends on March 9 of the following year. Here are three recommended methods to check the specific date: the simplest is to look at the date on the back page of your license; download the Traffic Management 12123 app on your phone, and after registration, it will directly display the scoring cycle information; or follow your local traffic police's official WeChat account and bind your license to check. It's important to note that the time you handle the violation determines which cycle the points are counted in, so be cautious when dealing with tickets near the end of the cycle. The system automatically resets the points to zero at midnight on the last day of the cycle, and as long as you haven't reached 12 points, your score will be restored to 12 points.

A veteran driver with over 20 years of experience shares a tip: You don't need to deliberately remember the scoring cycle—just check the initial license issuance date on your driver's license. I got my license on November 3, 1998, and every year at midnight on November 3, the system automatically resets my points. Just be careful in daily driving and check for violations before the cycle ends. Nowadays, it's common to use a smartphone for this—just open the Traffic Management 12123 app, click on driver's license information, and the start and end dates of the scoring cycle are clearly displayed. If you accidentally lose all 12 points, don't panic. Just sign up for a seven-day traffic regulations course at the DMV before the reset date, and you'll be fine after passing the test.

Last year, I made a silly mistake thinking that driving license points would be reset uniformly at the end of the year. Later, I learned that it's actually a 12-month cycle starting from the date of license issuance. Ladies, remember to check the initial issuance date on your license - your points refresh at midnight on that exact date every year. For example, mine shows May 20th, so every 520 is my points reset day. The easiest way is to use the Traffic Management 12123 app - after real-name registration, just click on 'Driver's License' to see your cycle time. Also, pay attention to when you handle traffic violations. If it's near the end of your cycle, don't rush to pay fines immediately - delaying a few days can count them towards the new cycle to avoid exceeding points in your current cycle. Of course, the safest approach is to minimize traffic violations while driving.

Our generation of young car owners simply use our smartphones to handle everything. Just download the 'Traffic Management 12123' app, register, and click on the 'Driver's License Information' module on the homepage. The end date of your current scoring period will immediately pop up. The start of this cycle is the initial issuance date printed on the back page of your driver's license. For example, if you got your license on August 8, 2020, your 12 points will automatically reset every August 8. Important reminder: If you accumulate 12 points before the cycle ends, your license will be frozen, and you must retake the written test (Subject One) to unfreeze it. Besides the app, you can also check the cycle date by searching for 'Driver's License Information' in the city services section of Alipay. Always pay attention to the traffic violation notifications pushed by the app while driving.
