It is very serious if there are unresolved traffic violations when the driver's license expires, because unresolved violations prevent license renewal. Methods for handling demerit points: If the demerit points are less than 12, the driver must first pay the fines for the violations at the traffic management department of the public security authority and clear the demerit points before applying for license renewal. If the demerit points reach 12, the driver must participate in the study and examination of Subject 1, and only after passing the exam and clearing the demerit points can the license be renewed. Handling violations before renewal: Before renewing the license, all vehicle violations and unpaid fines must be resolved; otherwise, the vehicle management office will not process the renewal. After paying the medical examination fee and the license production fee, the driver's license can be renewed.
When it's time to renew your driver's license, having unresolved traffic violations can be a major headache. As a veteran driver with over 20 years of experience, I've seen too many friends get tripped up by this. The traffic authorities have strict rules - you must clear all violation records before renewing your license. If you delay handling them, at best you won't get your new license, and at worst you'll face daily fines plus late fees that really add up. I knew a young guy last year who ended up paying over 500 yuan in late fees for this - he was kicking himself afterwards. Not to mention how these negative records in the nationwide credit system could affect your ability to get loans for cars or houses. My sincere advice: check your violation records three months before expiration, take care of any points deductions or fines, and only go for renewal after everything's settled - that's the safest approach.
