Is a B2 Driver's License Exempt from Review if No Points Are Deducted?

[KendraDella]

B2 driver's license can be exempt from review if no points are deducted. The annual review inspection items are for drivers who have points deducted during the B2 driver's license scoring cycle; if the B2 driver's license has no points deducted, there is no need to participate in the review. The following is relevant information about the annual review of B2 driver's license: B2 Driver's License Annual Review Process: Most local vehicle management offices have self-service terminals for driver's license annual review, but if there is no self-service terminal, drivers need to queue at the counter for processing. B2 Driver's License Annual Review Items After Points Deduction: According to the new regulations for B2 driver's license annual review, there are corresponding requirements for different point deduction situations. (1) Driver's license points deduction does not exceed 12 points: Only need to participate in the above three annual review inspection items. (2) Driver's license points deduction reaches 12 points but less than 24 points: When the points deduction reaches 12 points, the driver's license will be revoked. In addition to participating in the annual review, the driver must also retake Subject 1, and the license can only be restored after passing Subject 1. (3) Driver's license points deduction reaches 24 points: After the points deduction reaches 24 points, the driver's license will also be revoked, and the driver must participate in the annual review and retake Subject 1 and Subject 3. (4) Special circumstances: The annual review time for the driver's license is thirty days before the end of the scoring cycle, and even if the annual review time is exceeded but not more than one year, the review can still be conducted. However, if the driver fails to participate in the annual review for three consecutive scoring cycles with points deducted, the driver's license will be revoked.

I've specialized in studying driver's license regulations, and the B2 license exemption policy is quite noteworthy. According to the latest rules, if your B2 license has no demerit points within a scoring cycle, you can indeed skip the annual review process for that period. However, it's important to note that exemption doesn't mean complete neglect—you still need to renew your license when it expires as usual, and if you're involved in a traffic accident with casualties, you may need to undergo review again even without any demerit points. Additionally, when you reach 60 years old, you must submit a medical examination certificate annually to qualify for the exemption. I recommend all drivers develop the habit of regularly checking for traffic violations and maintaining a zero-demerit-point record, which is much more reliable than dealing with issues at the last minute.

As a veteran truck driver with a B2 license, I have firsthand experience with the exemption from annual review. For the past two years, I maintained a clean record with zero penalty points and indeed didn't receive any annual review notices from the DMV. But don't take it lightly—I know a guy who had to make an in-person visit to settle his paperwork because he failed to handle a speeding ticket promptly, which triggered an anomaly in the system. Nowadays, I check the traffic management app twice a month to confirm my clean record for peace of mind. Honestly, as long as you drive carefully and keep your record spotless, skipping the hassle of annual review queues is truly convenient.

After obtaining the B2 driver's license, our instructor reminded us that exemption from annual review mainly depends on the demerit points. The current policy is clear: no demerit points = no annual review. However, special attention should be paid to the age limit. Drivers aged 60 and above must still submit a medical examination report even if they are exempt from the review. Additionally, some special circumstances may affect the exemption, such as having unresolved traffic accident records or overdue vehicle inspections under one's name. When driving, it's advisable to use a phone holder instead of holding the phone to answer calls, to avoid unintentional violations and demerit points.
