How to Handle Accumulating 24 Points in a Scoring Cycle?
2 Answers
When a driver's license accumulates two 12-point violations or a total of over 24 points in one scoring cycle, the driver must not only undergo seven days of training and retake the Subject 1 exam, but also participate in the Subject 3 exam within ten days of passing the first exam. Only after passing both exams can the driver resume driving. Solutions for other point deduction scenarios are as follows: 1. If a motor vehicle driver accumulates less than 12 points in a scoring cycle: the points will be cleared once the fines are paid; if there are unpaid fines, the points will carry over to the next scoring cycle. 2. If a driver's license is suspended with 12 points (including 12 points or more but less than 24 points): the license will be temporarily suspended, and the driver must retake the Subject 1 exam. Driving during this period without passing the exam is considered unlicensed driving. Refusing to participate in training or exams will result in the traffic management department of the public security authority announcing the suspension of the driver's license.
I remember a friend who got into this situation. He was driving carelessly and exceeded the speed limit several times, accumulating 24 penalty points. He panicked and immediately went to the DMV. The solution was first attending a 7-day traffic safety regulation course, which covered traffic rules and accident cases, with daily check-ins for learning. Then, he had to take the theoretical test (similar to the one for getting a driver's license), requiring a score of 90 to pass. If passed, the points would be cleared with a fine of a few hundred yuan; if failed, he'd have to continue studying, wasting both time and money. I suggest driving steadily and not getting distracted or speeding like he did. Otherwise, the process is really torturous and affects daily commutes. It's best to download a driving record app in advance to monitor points.
