How to Clear Points When a Vehicle Exceeds 12 Points?

If the points are not deducted all at once (12 points in a single instance), two driving licenses can be used to clear the points. Here are the relevant details: 1. Training: If a driver accumulates 12 points within a scoring cycle, they must report to the traffic management department of the public security authority at the location where the motor vehicle driver's license was issued or where the violation occurred. They are required to undergo 7 days of training, with 8 hours per day, covering road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. 2. Retake: After completing the 7-day training, the driver must retake the Subject 1 exam, which covers the same content as for new driving license applicants. Upon passing the Subject 1 exam, the accumulated points will be reset to zero, and the motor vehicle driver's license will be returned. Drivers who fail the exam must re-enroll in the training and retake the exam.

Last year, I exceeded the points on my driver's license, and it was quite troublesome. After exceeding 12 points, I had to report to the traffic management bureau, where they arranged for me to attend classes and take a test. First, I had to queue up to register, fill out forms, and pay fees, which cost me over 200 yuan. Then came the seven-day course, where I had to attend classes every morning, learning traffic rules, accident cases, and driving techniques. The instructor explained everything in great detail. Finally, I had to take the subject one test, which was even harder than the initial driver's license test—I needed a score of 90 to pass. Once I passed, the points were cleared, but the whole process took half a month and affected my work. Remember, don’t speed or park illegally while driving, and check the app to see how many points you have left to avoid exceeding the limit.

I just exceeded my points by 12 and was extremely anxious. After inquiring at the traffic police station, I was told to attend a safety course. After registering, I had to attend classes in a classroom for seven consecutive days, covering topics such as traffic laws, intersection safety, and fatigue driving prevention. At the end of the course, there was a theoretical exam with multiple-choice and true/false questions, and the passing score was 90. Fortunately, I passed, but it was time-consuming and disrupted my vacation. I suggest you frequently check your app records. If your points are nearly full, adjust your habits in time, such as slowing down and avoiding illegal lane changes. If you have too many points, deal with them early to avoid having your vehicle impounded when you exceed the limit.

If a vehicle accumulates over 12 penalty points, the driver must attend traffic management courses and retake the theoretical driving test (Subject 1). I've been through this process—it's straightforward but strict: 7 days of mandatory classes focusing on traffic regulations, and passing the test resets the points to zero. Prevention is key: regularly review driving habits to minimize violations, such as avoiding running red lights.
