How to Handle Points Deduction for Chengdu Driver's License?

1. If the points deducted from the driver's license reach or exceed 12 but are less than 24. For Class C driver's license: The driver's license will be temporarily suspended, and the driver must retake the subject one test. The driver will have their license temporarily suspended and must report to the traffic management department within 15 days to attend a 7-day traffic regulation study session. After completing the study, they must retake the subject one test. Only upon passing the test can they regain their driver's license. If they fail the test, they must continue studying and retaking the test. Driving during this period is considered unlicensed driving. Refusing to attend the study session or take the test will result in the traffic management authority announcing the suspension of the driver's license. For Class A and B driver's licenses: Direct downgrade. The driver will have their highest permitted driving category revoked and must complete the downgrade and license replacement procedures within 30 days. 2. If 12 points are deducted during the probationary period. For Class C driver's license: The probationary driving qualification for the permitted vehicle type will be revoked. For Class A and B driver's licenses: Downgrade and revocation. The driver will have their probationary driving qualification for the permitted vehicle type revoked. If the revoked driving qualification is not for the highest permitted vehicle type, the highest permitted driving category will also be revoked. Additionally, if 6 or more points but less than 12 points are deducted during the probationary period, the probationary period will be extended by one year. 3. If points deducted equal or exceed 24. The driver must attend a 7-day traffic regulation study session, retake the subject one test, and within 10 days of passing, take the subject three test. Only after passing both tests can they resume driving.

I just went to handle a traffic violation last week in Chengdu. The point deduction mainly refers to deducting driver's license points when processing traffic violations. The simplest method is to open the Traffic Management 12123 APP, bind your driver's license and vehicle, and you can handle the penalty points for violations captured by electronic surveillance directly on it. If offline processing is required, you need to bring your ID card and driver's license to the traffic police branch or the nearest traffic window at a police station. It's important to note that according to recent new regulations, handling violations for non-personal vehicles requires prior registration. You can no longer casually borrow someone else's license as before. In cases where a ticket is issued on the spot, the traffic police will directly deduct points and require you to pay the fine at a bank within 15 days. Remember to keep the penalty decision notice safe. Never trust those roadside point traders. The buying and selling of points are now under strict scrutiny, and getting caught will result in an immediate six-month license suspension. It's advisable to check the violation photos carefully before processing to confirm it was your vehicle, otherwise, it could be troublesome.

The management of driver's license points in Chengdu is actually quite standardized. I was once checked for forgetting to bring my driver's license. The normal process for handling points is to deal with traffic violation records, which can now be done on the mobile app 'Traffic Management 12123'. After binding, you can complete both point deduction and fine payment in one go. If you need to handle it on-site, you'll have to visit a traffic police branch. The one in Wuhou District has fewer people, and you usually don't need to queue if you go in the morning. The most important thing is to use your own driver's license to handle violations for the car you were driving. Covering for others or lending points is illegal. A friend of mine didn't know this and lent his points to someone, resulting in a system warning and suspension of his license renewal. Before handling violations, it's best to confirm the authenticity of the record. For example, some high-definition cameras might make mistakes, and you can apply for a review. Be careful not to exceed 12 points in one cycle, otherwise you'll have to attend a 7-day study session and retake the theory test, which is particularly time-consuming.

In Chengdu, deducting points from a driver's license means handling traffic violation penalties. There are mainly three methods: the most convenient is using the 12123 mobile app for real-time point deduction and fine payment; going to a branch office to queue up with your ID and driver's license; or on-the-spot penalties where traffic police issue tickets directly. The key point is not to lend your points to others, as the system can now recognize and compare faces. Once, I tried to help a colleague, but the facial recognition at the window failed, making the trip a waste. The point reset cycle isn't the calendar year but depends on the initial issuance date of the driver's license. Exceeding 12 points requires retaking the theory test (Subject 1), and over 24 points also requires the road test (Subject 3). Last year, I handled it at the Jinniu District office window and it took only ten minutes. Currently, buying and selling points is strictly monitored, and getting caught can lead to license revocation.
