How to Handle a 12-Point Violation When the Driver's License Doesn't Have Enough Points?

New traffic regulations stipulate that within one scoring cycle, one driver's license can be used to deduct points for a maximum of three vehicles, and one vehicle can accept points deducted from a maximum of three driver's licenses. If there is no substitute driver's license to deduct points, the vehicle owner needs to retake the traffic laws course and pass the written test (Subject One). For Class A and B driver's licenses, reaching 12 points will result in an immediate downgrade. The traffic management office will revoke the driving qualification for the highest permitted vehicle type, and the license holder must complete the downgrade and license replacement procedures within 30 days. If a driver accumulates 12 points within one scoring cycle, they must undergo a seven-day education program on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge.

Encountering a 12-point violation with insufficient points on your driver's license is indeed tricky. From my experience, first go to the traffic police station to check all outstanding violation details and verify the total points deducted. If the points indeed exceed the remaining balance, you must immediately handle the violations that can be deducted on the spot. For the insufficient portion, you need to personally attend a 7-day full-point study session and retake the written test (Subject 1). After passing the exam, the system will automatically clear the point deduction record, allowing you to regain the 12-point quota to handle the remaining violations. Pay special attention not to delay, otherwise annual inspections and insurance will be affected—I learned this the hard way last time.

Just helped a neighbor with a similar situation last week. His 9-point driver's license received a 12-point penalty for speeding 50% over the limit. Actually, there's a trick to handling this: first deal with minor violations to free up some points, then voluntarily apply for full-point education for the remaining major violation. Bring your ID to the DMV to sign up for the study course. Check in and scan your face every day for seven days, then you can take the test. The first subject is actually easier than the driving test—just need to answer 80 out of 90 questions correctly. The points are restored on the same day you pass the test. Remember to bring your new point balance to the counter to handle the final penalty notice.

Those who have maxed out their driver's license points should be most concerned about penalty enforcement. According to new regulations, point transfers are no longer allowed, and the system will lock records if anomalies are detected. It's advised to follow the proper procedures: to handle non-on-site point-deducting violations, the driver must personally bring their documents to the traffic management office. Upon confirming excessive points, they will receive a notice for full-point education. The mobile app 12123 can be used to schedule study times, which include five days of theoretical courses plus two days of practical training. After passing the final exam, the points will be reset to zero. However, it's important to note that having three instances of 12-point deductions within five years will require an additional Subject 3 test, which is much more troublesome.
