How to Check Vehicle Demerit Points?
2 Answers
There are many ways to check vehicle demerit points. You can directly visit the office halls of local traffic police teams, or use SMS, phone calls, websites, etc., to check. Demerit Point Regulations: 1. Less than 12 points: If the demerit points in a scoring cycle do not reach 12 and the imposed fines have been paid, the points will be cleared. If the demerit points do not reach 12 but there are unpaid fines, the points will carry over to the next cycle. 2. Accumulating 12 points: If a driver accumulates 12 points in a scoring cycle, the public security traffic management department will confiscate their driver's license. The driver must report to the traffic management department of the issuing authority or the location where the violation occurred within 15 days to receive seven days of education on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge, and must take the subject one exam. 3. Reaching 12 points but refusing to participate in learning: If a driver accumulates 12 points but refuses to participate in the learning sessions notified by the traffic management department or take the required exam, the traffic management department will announce the suspension of their driver's license.
When I first started driving, I was confused about how to check vehicle demerit points, but later found it quite simple. The mainstream method is using the mobile app 'Traffic Management 12123.' After downloading the app, register your personal information, bind your license plate number, and click on the violation query to see your current demerit point record. If you drive frequently, it's recommended to check once a month to keep your records clear. Checking via mobile is convenient and can be done anytime, anywhere. Additionally, you can follow the local traffic police official account on WeChat and enter your license plate and ID to check. Don’t wait until you’ve accumulated 12 points to panic—it affects driving safety. Following traffic rules is the most important thing. I’ve been driving for two years now and have made checking points a habit. Early detection allows you to learn how to reduce points and avoid trouble.
