How to Handle Driving After Accumulating 12 Points on Your License?

[StMargaret]

If your driver's license accumulates 12 or more points, it will be temporarily suspended, and you will need to attend a week-long road traffic safety course at the vehicle management office. Driving a motor vehicle during the period of license suspension is considered driving without a license. If caught, your driver's license will be revoked directly, and you will face a fine and up to 15 days of detention.

Last time I accidentally sped and got all 12 points deducted, which was absolutely devastating. The process was: the traffic police directly confiscated my license and required me to register at the DMV within 15 days for a 7-day traffic law course. That week, I took the bus to class every day. The textbook was all basic traffic rules, and we had an exam right after finishing the course—passing required scoring at least 85. The hardest part was not being able to drive at all during that period. Once, I almost drove because I was in a hurry, but my wife scolded me back to my senses. Later, I heard about someone who got caught driving illegally during this time—fined 1800 and detained for five days. Just thinking about it gives me chills. It's been two years since I got my license back, and I've never gone over 120 km/h since.
