How to restore 6 points on a driver's license?
3 Answers
If 6 points are deducted from your motor vehicle driver's license due to traffic violations, after paying the fine, the full 12 points will be restored at the start of the next scoring cycle. Here are the relevant regulations: 1. Article 69: If a motor vehicle driver's accumulated demerit points in a scoring cycle haven't reached 12 points and all fines have been paid, the points will be cleared. If fines remain unpaid even when points are below 12, the points will carry over to the next scoring cycle. 2. Article 65: The cumulative scoring cycle for road traffic safety violations (i.e., scoring cycle) is 12 months with a maximum of 12 points, calculated from the date of initial driver's license issuance. Based on the severity of traffic violations, single penalties can be: 12 points, 6 points, 3 points, 2 points, or 1 point.
I've been driving for several years and know that the points on my driver's license are automatically reset once a year. It's usually 12 months from the date you obtained your license, and then the points return to the full 12. To avoid severe point deductions, it's best to regularly check the Traffic Management 12123 app to stay updated on how many points have been deducted. If your points are low, don't rush to drive illegally. If you lose all 12 points and your license is confiscated by traffic police, you'll need to immediately sign up for traffic law classes. Typically, it's a 7-day course covering traffic safety lectures and practice questions, followed by an exam you must pass to retrieve your license. The whole process isn't difficult, but acting early can save you trouble. Always remember to follow traffic rules while driving, like not speeding or changing lanes recklessly, so your points can reset smoothly without causing stress.
As a frequent driver on the road, I've found that the key to point recovery lies in prevention and patiently waiting for the cycle to end. The annual reset day automatically restores 12 points without any additional action. However, if your points are nearly depleted, it's advisable to avoid high-risk roads and use safety apps for monitoring. If you do get a full 12-point deduction, immediately report to the local traffic police department to study traffic laws. Passing the exam after completing the course will fully restore your points. This process can also help you learn new knowledge, reduce violations, and develop good habits. Remember, point management is for safety—don't treat it as a burden, just handle it proactively.
