It is not a big deal if only 1 point is left on the driver's license, as long as there are no further traffic violations resulting in point deductions within the current scoring cycle. If a motor vehicle driver's accumulated points do not reach 12 within a scoring cycle and all fines have been paid, the points will be cleared. If the points do not reach 12 but there are unpaid fines, the points will carry over to the next scoring cycle. Below is relevant information: Road traffic safety violations: The scoring cycle is 12 months, with a full score of 12 points. The cycle starts from the date the license was initially issued and continues in a loop, with points being cleared on the issuance anniversary date, which marks the beginning of the new scoring cycle. For example, if the initial issuance date of the driver's license is May 1, 2020, the scoring cycle runs from that date to the same date the following year. Point values for violations: If the accumulated points do not reach 12, the scoring system will automatically reset at the start of the next cycle. If the points reach 12, the traffic management department of the public security authority will confiscate the driver's license. The driver must then report to the traffic management department of the public security authority at the place where the license was issued or where the violation occurred within 15 days to attend a seven-day study session on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge.
