How to Retake the Test After Losing All Driving License Points?
2 Answers
Here is the relevant introduction on how to retake the test after losing all driving license points: 1. Full 12 points deducted during the probation period: If the driving license is still within the probation period and all 12 points are deducted, the license will be directly revoked. The license cannot be restored, and you can only re-register and start the examination process from scratch. 2. Full 12 points deducted after the probation period: The traffic management department will confiscate the motor vehicle driving license. The driver must report to the traffic management department at the place where the license was issued or where the violation occurred within 15 days to participate in a seven-day study of road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Drivers who pass the test will have their points cleared and their driving license returned; those who fail must continue studying and retake the test.
I had all my driver's license points deducted before and had to retake the test—what a hassle. The first thing I did was report to the local traffic management department, where they arranged for me to attend a seven-day traffic regulations course. I had to sit through classes every day, studying traffic rules and safety knowledge. Not being able to drive during that time was quite inconvenient. After completing the course, I scheduled the written test (Subject 1), which was all theory-based. I had to go through the question bank multiple times before passing. Once I passed, I got my license back immediately and was able to drive again after restoration. The whole process took about two to three weeks, with some minor expenses for study materials, but the upside was refreshing my knowledge of the rules—a good reminder to drive more carefully and avoid violations. The key is not to delay, as late handling leads to higher fines.
