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.

I just got my driver's license not long ago and have also had points deducted before. Losing 30 points is way too much—maybe you were speeding or violated traffic rules too many times? Handling it is simple: after receiving the text message or ticket, go to the DMV immediately. They'll arrange for you to take a mandatory traffic course, and once you complete the required hours, you'll need to retake the written test (Subject One). Pass it, and you're good, but don’t forget to pay the fines. Drive more carefully next time, pay attention to roadside signs, and avoid cutting in line or lane hogging. I often go on long trips with friends, and planning routes with navigation apps helps reduce misjudgments—developing this habit can help you earn back points. Safety first; don’t rush and regret it later if something happens.

After spending a long time in car enthusiast circles, I've heard many people talk about point deductions. If your driver's license exceeds 30 penalty points, the traffic authorities may suspend it, requiring you to attend mandatory classes and pass a test at designated locations. Passing the subject one exam will reset your points, but the process consumes time and energy. Then, reflect on your driving issues and frequently check your vehicle's condition, such as ensuring brake lights work to avoid fines. When driving an older car, I often use mobile apps to record routes and avoid violations, while maintaining steady speeds on highways to reduce risks. After dealing with this, I've become more cautious.

Road safety is a serious matter, and having 30 points deducted from your license indicates major issues with your driving behavior. When dealing with this, immediately contact the local traffic police or vehicle management office, attend a mandatory training course, and retake the theoretical driving test (Subject One). This is compulsory—do not delay. Your license will be reinstated upon passing the exam. Additionally, strengthen your personal safety habits, such as adhering to speed limits and maintaining a safe following distance. As someone with years of driving experience, I also recommend regular vehicle maintenance to prevent unexpected point deductions and using traffic management apps to self-check violation records. Safe driving is crucial for protecting lives.
