How to Handle a One-Time Deduction of 24 Points?

[LeAdriana]

Drivers whose license points reach 24 or more must retake both the subject one and subject three exams. Below is a detailed introduction regarding one-time large point deductions: 1. Drivers with 12 points deducted must undergo retraining and pass the subject one exam: Drivers with 12 points deducted must attend a 7-day training session and then retake the subject one exam. The exam content is the same as for new driver's license applicants. After passing the subject one exam, the points will be cleared, and the driver's license will be returned. Those who fail must retake the training and exam. 2. Drivers whose points reach 24 or more must retake both subject one and subject three exams: It is important to note that within one scoring cycle, if the points exceed 12 but are less than 24, only the regulations training and exam are required. However, if the illegal points reach 24 or more within one scoring cycle, the driver must not only attend the subject one exam training but also the subject three exam training. Only after passing all exams can the driver regain their license.

I've been driving for over ten years, but last time I accidentally got caught for speeding and drunk driving, resulting in a whopping 24-point deduction at once. I was completely stunned at that moment. The traffic police confiscated my license on the spot, and after receiving the notice, I immediately reported to the DMV. The staff arranged for me to attend a 7-day traffic safety training course, from 9 AM to 5 PM daily, covering many accident cases and rule details, which was quite educational. After the training, I had to retake the theoretical test (Subject 1) and even redo the road test (Subject 3), which was really tough—I was extremely nervous during the road test. The whole process took a month, and life without a car was very inconvenient for work. Now I’ve learned my lesson and never dare to be careless while driving again. If you ever find yourself in this situation, handle it as soon as possible to avoid further delays and complications.

If you get 24 penalty points at once, the process is quite complicated. As an experienced driver, I can tell you the first step is having your license suspended, and you must immediately visit the local DMV to handle the procedures. Then, you'll need to attend a seven-day safety education course covering traffic regulations and safe driving techniques. After completion, you must retake both the written test (Subject One) and the road test (Subject Three). Failing means additional study and retesting, which wastes time. I advise everyone to drive carefully and avoid reckless actions—accumulating so many points not only disrupts daily life but could also lead to license revocation. Remember, safe arrival is the goal of driving, not speed. Developing good habits can prevent these troubles.

My friend recently got distracted while driving and was deducted 24 points, which terrified her. The penalty was having her driver's license suspended, requiring her to register with the traffic authorities for a mandatory safety course lasting seven days, followed by two exams. The whole process can disrupt travel plans for one to two weeks, making it quite an ordeal. Staying focused while driving and avoiding major mistakes can prevent this—maintain a moderate speed, avoid distractions, and always prioritize safety.
