How to Handle a Second 12-Point Deduction?
2 Answers
If a driver's license accumulates a second 12-point deduction, the vehicle management office must conduct a road driving skills test within ten days after the driver passes the examination on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. The road driving skills test should be conducted according to the highest permissible vehicle type specified on the driver's license. Additional Information: If the test is passed, the points will be cleared, and the driver's license will be returned. If the test is failed, the driver must continue to participate in study and retake the test. Refusal to participate in study or take the test will result in the traffic management department of the public security authority announcing the suspension of the driver's license.
I recently got my license suspended for the second time due to accumulating 12 penalty points, and I feel utterly devastated, as if the sky is falling. Looking back, I was completely flustered during my first suspension, but this time I need to act quickly. Based on my experience, once you reach 12 points, your license is immediately suspended, and you must stop driving to avoid further penalties. Within 15 days, you must report to the traffic authorities, who will arrange a mandatory seven-day course focused on traffic regulations. After completing the course, you must pass the written exam (Theory Test). If it’s your second offense, you might also face an additional road test. The whole process is grueling, with fines of a few hundred yuan, but if you don’t act, your license will be permanently revoked. Now, I remind myself daily to strictly adhere to speed limits and avoid unnecessary trouble—safe driving is the golden rule. I never want to relive this nightmare again.
