How to Handle 30 Points Deducted from Driver's License?
2 Answers
If more than 30 points are deducted within a scoring cycle, you are required to attend a seven-day educational training and retake both Subject 1 and Subject 3 of the driving test before you can retrieve your driver's license and clear the points. The following situations will result in a 12-point deduction: 1. Vehicle type mismatch; driving a motor vehicle that does not match the permitted vehicle type; 2. Drunk driving; driving a motor vehicle after drinking alcohol; 3. Overloading; driving a commercial passenger vehicle (excluding buses) or school bus with more than 20% of the approved passenger capacity; 4. Hit-and-run; causing a traffic accident and fleeing the scene without constituting a crime; 5. License plate violation; driving a motor vehicle on the road without a license plate, or intentionally covering, damaging, or not installing the license plate as required; 6. Forged or altered license plates; using forged or altered motor vehicle license plates, driving licenses, school bus signs, or using other motor vehicle license plates or driving licenses; 7. Unqualified driving; driving a motor vehicle on the highway in reverse, against traffic, or crossing the central divider to make a U-turn; stopping a commercial passenger vehicle in a highway lane; driving medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicles, school buses, or hazardous material transport vehicles on highways or urban expressways exceeding the speed limit by 20% or more, or on other roads exceeding the speed limit by 50% or more, as well as driving other motor vehicles exceeding the speed limit by 50% or more; driving medium-sized or larger passenger vehicles or hazardous material transport vehicles for more than 4 hours without stopping to rest or resting for less than 20 minutes; driving a school bus without the proper qualifications.
Oh, seeing the 30-point deduction on the driver's license reminds me of my youthful recklessness. The full score of a driver's license is only 12 points, so 30 points definitely exceed the limit, indicating multiple consecutive violations. Handling it is quite troublesome—first, wait for the traffic management department's notice, then report to the local vehicle management office, and attend traffic safety training classes, ensuring you complete the required hours. After the training, you’ll need to retake the theoretical exam (Subject 1). Only after passing can your license be restored, but the whole process might come with additional fines. The key takeaway is to learn from this and follow traffic rules more carefully to avoid speeding or running red lights. I always advise fellow drivers to install a dashcam to monitor their driving behavior and regularly check violation records. Safe driving not only protects your points but also your life. A car can be fixed if broken, but a life lost is irreplaceable.
