How to Check the Remaining Points on a Driver's License?

You can check by visiting the local traffic management website. In the driver's license violation query section on the left side of the website, enter your ID number and driver's license file number, then click 'Query'. A driver's license has 12 points available for deduction within a 12-month period. It is crucial to avoid accumulating all 12 points within this timeframe, as doing so would require attending a course at the local vehicle management office and passing a subsequent test. Below is an introduction to driver's licenses: 1. A driver's license is a 'permit': Operating a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills. Without these skills, driving a vehicle recklessly could lead to traffic accidents. Drivers cannot operate vehicles on the road without a license. However, for those who have mastered safe driving techniques, the document that permits them to drive on the road is the 'driver's license'. This indicates that a driver's license is a 'permit'. 2. Definition of a driver's license: Internationally, a driver's license is defined as: 'A document issued by the competent authority permitting the holder to drive a motor vehicle.' In China, a driver's license is defined as: 'A legal certificate issued by the management authorities to individuals who have learned to drive motor vehicles in accordance with the law, have mastered traffic regulations and driving skills after training, and have passed the required tests, permitting them to drive certain types of motor vehicles.'

I've been driving for over a decade and know all the ins and outs of checking license points. I usually use the Traffic Management 12123 app - just open it on my phone to see the remaining points, which is super convenient and fast. Last time I accidentally ran a red light, I immediately checked the app to see the point deduction. If you can't find the display entry in the app, just click into the driver's license section to see all the information. If you're not comfortable with mobile queries, you can also check in person at the DMV counter - just bring your ID card and original driver's license, and it'll take five minutes. You can also call your local DMV to check, but you'll need to provide your full license number. I've tried all these methods, and I recommend installing the app as the easiest option. Points are directly related to driving privileges, so I check periodically. Remember that the scoring cycle isn't based on the calendar year - it's calculated from your initial license issuance date and resets annually.
