Drivers should go to the traffic department at the place where the driver's license was issued within 15 days of receiving the ticket to handle the traffic violation and pay the fine. The points will be automatically reset at the end of the scoring cycle.

Last time I accidentally got 2 points deducted for speeding and was really nervous at first. Later, after asking a traffic police friend, I found out the process is actually very simple—just take your driver's license and vehicle registration to the traffic office to handle it. The key is to go as soon as possible and not wait until before the annual inspection. After paying the fine, the points take effect immediately and will automatically reset after 12 months. But during this period, I have to drive more carefully, especially avoiding common oversights like changing lanes over solid lines at intersections. I also regularly check my point status on the 12123 app. Now I always leave 20 minutes earlier when driving and never dare to speed to save time anymore.

Handling traffic violations is much more convenient now. Last year, I got 2 points deducted on the highway. You can check violation details on the 12123 APP on your , and after confirming it was you driving, you can directly pay and handle it online. If there's any dispute requiring in-person confirmation, just spare some time on a weekday to visit the vehicle management office, and it can be settled in about ten minutes. It's crucial to pay attention to the processing deadline, as failing to handle it on time may involve late fees. Additionally, the scoring cycle is calculated from the date of license issuance. If you've already accumulated 10 points before the cycle ends, these 2 points might trigger a full-score study requirement. It's recommended to set up a scoring reminder function in the APP to avoid being caught off guard.

Don't panic if your driver's license is deducted 2 points, just follow the procedure. I've handled it several times: within 15 days of receiving the ticket, bring your documents to the processing window, confirm the violation facts, sign and pay the fine, then the points will be recorded. Remember these points are not permanent, as long as you don't reach 12 points within a one-year scoring cycle, you're fine. Some people prefer to accumulate points and handle them together, which is risky as temporary spot checks could cause trouble. Recently, many cities have introduced a 'study to reduce points' service, where participating in traffic safety exams can deduct up to 6 points, but this can only be applied once per cycle.

As a driver with over a decade of experience, I remind everyone that the most crucial thing after receiving penalty points is to handle them promptly. Even if it's just 2 points, deal with it immediately, otherwise it will affect license renewal and annual inspections. The process is simple: first, confirm the violation location, then go to the local traffic police station or an authorized bank to pay the fine. When handling, pay attention to three things: check the violation photos to prevent license plate cloning; ensure the driver's license number on the ticket matches yours; after payment, print and keep the payment receipt. Once handled, drive especially carefully, particularly at night—avoid drunk driving at all costs, as it's a serious violation that can deduct all 12 points instantly.

I realized many people don't understand the scoring rules when dealing with a 2-point deduction. The scoring cycle is a full year calculated from the day you got your license, so everyone's cycle start date is different. The most important thing after a 2-point deduction is to pay the fine promptly; otherwise, the points won't reset and will carry over to the next year. Now, the 12123 APP makes it super convenient to handle fines—just a few taps on the screen. However, before processing, confirm three things: whether the violation photos, the driver, and the vehicle model match. Also, a reminder: don't cross the grid lines at intersections, and don't look at your while driving—these small actions can easily lead to tickets.
