How to Handle a One-Time Deduction of 12 Points on a Class B License?

If a Class B driver's license is deducted 12 points at once, the driver must participate in study and examination sessions, and apply for a downgrade and license replacement. Here are the detailed steps: 1. Study and Training: The motor vehicle driver must report to the traffic management department of the public security authority at the license issuance location or the location of the violation within 15 days to attend a seven-day study session on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. After completing the study, the vehicle management office must conduct an examination on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge within 20 days. 2. Examination: If the driver passes the exam, the points will be cleared, and the motor vehicle driver's license will be returned; if the driver fails, they must continue to participate in study and examination sessions. Refusal to participate in the study or examination will result in the traffic management department of the public security authority announcing the suspension of the motor vehicle driver's license.

I just got my Class B license when I was penalized with 12 demerit points at once, which left me extremely anxious. Later, I figured out the process: first, bring the license to the traffic police station for handling, pay the fine, and then attend a 7-day road traffic safety course. The course involved daily lectures on traffic rules and accident cases—quite dull but useful. After completing the course, I had to retake the written test for Subject 1, which covered high-risk behaviors like speeding and drunk driving. Scoring above 80 was required to restore the points. The entire process took over three weeks and affected my work commute. It was a profound lesson: I now use a mobile app to monitor my speed while driving and strictly avoid drunk or distracted driving. If I make another mistake, I might face even harsher penalties, so safety first is the key.

As a seasoned driver, I've witnessed many rookies getting their full 12 points deducted. The process isn't complicated: report to the local DMV, accept the penalty, then attend a week-long training course focusing on traffic regulations and safety awareness. Passing the written test (Subject 1) will restore your license with reset points. However, remember that point deductions often stem from speeding or ignoring signals, which could lead to accidents harming yourself and others. Develop good habits like regular vehicle checks and avoiding drowsy driving; if frequently on highways, set cruise control speed limits. Prevention outweighs remedy—don't wait until points are deducted to regret.

The process for handling a 12-point deduction is quite standardized: First, go to the traffic management department to complete the formalities and pay the fine. Then, sign up for a seven-day traffic safety education program, which covers common reasons for violations and countermeasures, such as the use of headlights during nighttime encounters. After completing the course, take a theoretical exam, similar to the driving test's subject one, to ensure knowledge mastery before restarting the driver's license. The key lies in reflecting on the root cause of the mistake afterward, such as whether speeding was due to rushing. Also, understand that multiple violations may extend the learning period. Safe driving is the core—check the vehicle before each trip and obey traffic lights.
