How to Handle 2 Points Deducted from Driver's License?
2 Answers
In the case of a 2-point deduction for a motor vehicle driver's license violation, the driver must report to the traffic management department at the license issuing location or the violation location within 15 days of receiving the ticket to handle the violation and pay the fine. The points will automatically reset at the end of the scoring cycle. Additional Information: 1. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses": Article 59: If a motor vehicle driver's points in a scoring cycle do not reach 12 points and the imposed fines have been paid, the points will be cleared. If the points do not reach 12 points but there are unpaid fines, the points will carry over to the next scoring cycle. 2. Points less than 12: If the points in a scoring cycle (12 months from the initial issuance date of the license) are less than 12, simply paying the fine is sufficient, and no further action is required. At the start of the next scoring cycle, the vehicle management computer system will reset all points from the previous cycle. 3. Points reaching 12: If the points in a scoring cycle reach 12, the driver must go to the issuing vehicle management office or the violation location vehicle management office to study and pass the subject one exam before the full-point record can be cleared and the normal use of the license restored.
Last time I accidentally ran a red light on the road, and my driver's license got deducted 2 points. This incident made me feel a bit regretful, but handling it was actually quite simple. First, I had to promptly go to the traffic police station or use the online traffic management platform to accept the penalty, which usually involved paying a fine—typically around one or two hundred yuan. After the points deduction, there's no need to panic too much; the points aren't wiped out all at once. As long as the accumulated points don't reach 12, it's not a big deal. I recommend paying more attention to traffic signals and speed limits while driving to develop good habits. After getting points deducted, I also make it a habit to regularly check my license points through the 12123 app, which gives me peace of mind. If you frequently violate traffic rules, consider enrolling in a traffic safety course at a driving school to learn some new knowledge and prevent future issues. In short, handling points deduction is about promptly accepting the penalty, driving carefully, and not letting it affect daily life and work commutes.
