How to Handle 36 Points Deducted from Driver's License at Once?
2 Answers
"Deducting 36 points at once will result in three types of penalties: revocation of the driver's license, temporary suspension of the driver's license, and cancellation of the driver's license. Additionally, penalties such as detention, driving ban, and fines may be imposed depending on the violation. The driver will need to participate in traffic safety education and retake the subject one exam. Only after passing these can the driver's license be restored. Cancellation of the driver's license refers to the situation where a probationary driver accumulates 12 points in a single scoring cycle, requiring them to start over by taking all subject exams again to obtain a new license. For experienced drivers outside the probationary period, deducting 12 points at once may result in temporary suspension or revocation of the driver's license, depending on the severity of the violation. The following violations will result in a 12-point deduction for motor vehicle drivers: Driving a vehicle that does not match the permitted vehicle type; driving under the influence of alcohol; operating a commercial passenger vehicle or school bus with more than 20% over the approved passenger capacity; fleeing the scene of a traffic accident without constituting a crime; driving a vehicle on the road without displaying a license plate, or intentionally covering, damaging, or improperly installing the license plate; using forged or altered license plates, vehicle registration certificates, driver's licenses, or school bus permits, or using other vehicles' license plates or registration certificates; driving a vehicle in reverse, against traffic, or making a U-turn across the central divider on a highway; stopping a commercial passenger vehicle in a highway lane; driving other vehicles at speeds exceeding 50% of the speed limit; driving medium-sized or larger passenger vehicles or hazardous material transport vehicles for more than 4 hours without rest or with rest periods shorter than 20 minutes; and driving a school bus without the proper qualifications."
I once encountered a similar situation where my driver's license was deducted 36 points at once, usually due to serious violations like drunk driving or exceeding the speed limit by over 50%. I had to immediately stop and report to the local vehicle management office, or the consequences would have been worse. The solution was to accept penalties such as paying fines, then attend a 7-day traffic safety education course—studying traffic rules daily—and finally pass an exam to reinstate my license. During this period, I couldn't drive at all, as doing so would risk unlicensed driving. I remember the class was crowded, and when sharing safe driving tips, everyone emphasized obeying speed limits and avoiding distractions. This experience taught me that safety comes first—avoid speeding impulses. After resetting to zero points, I had to rebuild them carefully without rushing. The whole process was time-consuming but vital for life preservation.
