How to Handle a One-Time Deduction of 12 Points?
2 Answers
The driver must report to the traffic management department of the public security authority at the place where the motor vehicle driving license was issued or where the violation occurred within fifteen days. Participate in a seven-day study and examination on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge.
Last time I was driving, I accidentally got 12 points deducted, which is quite common and not too complicated to handle. First, the police notified me to report to the DMV, then I was required to attend a 7-day traffic regulations learning course. The course content included traffic sign recognition, safe driving principles, and urban road rules, with several hours of class each day—it could really drive you crazy. After that, I had to pass the written test (Subject 1). I remember spending a week reviewing the question bank; the test was computer-based, with 100 multiple-choice questions, and you needed to answer 90 correctly to pass. If you failed the first time, you could retake it twice. Once passed, the points were cleared, and the driver's license returned to normal. If you kept failing the test, the learning period might be extended or you might have to retake it. During the whole process, I also paid a fine—the exact amount depended on the type of violation, such as speeding or drunk driving, which would be more expensive. Since then, I’ve been extra careful when driving, learning to check speed limit signs and using a dashcam to avoid similar troubles in the future.
