If traffic violations are not fully processed, can the driver's license still have full points next year?

Unprocessed violations on the driver's license will not reset the demerit points. Only after handling the violations and paying the fines will the demerit points be cleared. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Selective processing: For violations where an on-the-spot ticket is issued, a 5% late fee will be charged if not processed within 15 days, with the maximum not exceeding double the fine. For violations caught by surveillance cameras, there is no late fee, as long as they are processed before the annual review. Additionally, you can selectively process violations, meaning you can choose to handle one violation out of multiple offenses. 2. Carryover to the next cycle: If a motor vehicle driver's demerit points within a scoring cycle do not reach 12, and all fines have been paid, the demerit points will be cleared. However, if there are unpaid fines, the demerit points will be carried over to the next scoring cycle, even if the points do not reach 12.
I haven’t been driving for long, and once I accidentally parked illegally and delayed paying the ticket. After checking the rules, I found that if there are unresolved violations, the next year’s driver’s license indeed cannot start with a full score—the points will carry over from the previous deductions and won’t reset. Experienced drivers also mentioned that this could affect license renewal and even lead to late fees. So, I quickly went to the traffic police station to settle the ticket to avoid future troubles. Safe driving comes first—always be careful not to break the rules, and if you do, resolve it early so you can start the next year with a clean slate while learning to drive.
Over the years of driving, I've encountered several traffic violations, such as forgetting to pay speeding tickets. Experience has taught me that if violations aren't resolved, your license definitely won't have full points the next year. The points system requires clearing all fines and records before resetting, otherwise points continue to accumulate. I learned this the hard way - procrastination became a problem, and I had points deducted during license renewal. I recommend everyone not to wait; promptly handle violations through traffic management apps or service points for simplicity. Always pay attention to traffic rules to reduce violation probabilities, making license management much easier.
According to the regulations, if there are unresolved traffic violations at the end of the points cycle, the driver's license points cannot automatically reset to the full score. This means that violation records will affect the starting point of the next year's scoring. Handling violations includes paying fines and confirming the deduction of points; only after completion can the points be cleared. It is recommended to avoid delays and handle them early, otherwise, not only will there be issues with the driver's license points, but other penalties may also affect driving life.
