How to Clear 8 Points Deducted from Driver's License?
2 Answers
To clear 8 points deducted from the driver's license, the driver must bring their own driver's license, ID card, and vehicle registration certificate to the traffic police department's violation processing window for handling, and then pay the fine at the bank. Only after these steps will the points be cleared. Here is more related information: According to the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses': 1. Article 66 states that for motor vehicle drivers' road traffic safety violations, penalties and point deductions are executed simultaneously. If a motor vehicle driver commits more than one violation at a time, the points should be calculated separately and accumulated. 2. Article 69 states that if a motor vehicle driver's points do not reach 12 within a scoring cycle and the imposed fines have been paid, the points will be cleared; if the points do not reach 12 but there are unpaid fines, the points will be carried over to the next scoring cycle.
I’ve also had 8 points deducted before—it’s quite common. The way to clear points is to wait for them to reset naturally over time. Generally, your driver’s license points are partially restored each year, so as long as you avoid further violations, they’ll gradually recover. Specifically, after losing 8 points, it’s best to avoid speeding or running red lights. Drive safely for a year or two, and your points will slowly replenish. Additionally, you can attend traffic safety classes or online courses, which may add or deduct points. For example, last year I took a free course on an official app and earned 2 points back. The key is to build good habits: check maps before driving to avoid wrong turns, maintain your car regularly to reduce accidents, and prevent further point deductions. If you do lose points, don’t panic—just correct your behavior promptly. Don’t delay too long, or you might face fines or even be required to retake the written test if your points drop to a critical level. In short, safety comes first—point deductions are just minor reminders.
