Is the driver's license point reset at 0:00 or 24:00?

24:00. For example, if the initial license issuance date is August 1, 2018, the point reset date will be 24:00 on August 1, 2019. Below is a detailed introduction about driver's license point reset: 1. Scoring cycle: According to Article 65 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses", the cumulative scoring cycle for road traffic safety violations (i.e., the scoring cycle) is 12 months, with a full score of 12 points, calculated from the date of initial issuance of the motor vehicle driver's license. 2. Fine transfer: Article 69 states that if a motor vehicle driver's accumulated points in a scoring cycle do not reach 12 points and the imposed fines have been paid, the points will be cleared; if the accumulated points do not reach 12 points but there are still unpaid fines, the points will be carried over to the next scoring cycle.

I've been driving for over a decade, so I know this pretty well. The license point reset definitely starts at 00:00, not 24:00. 24:00 is actually just a different way of saying the same time, but it refers to the end time of the date, while the reset happens at the start of a new day, i.e., 00:00. For example, if my demerit point cycle ends on June 30th, by 00:00 on July 1st, the points are gone, and the traffic management app will show the points restored. So don’t think it resets after midnight—if you violate traffic rules at 11:50 PM on the 31st, you might exceed the point limit before 24:00. I recommend everyone check their point reset date regularly so you know where you stand and can avoid fines. Remember, safe driving is what really matters—don’t just rely on point resets to get by, or the risk of accidents will be much higher.

I was also quite confused about this when I first got my driver's license. Does the license point reset happen at 00:00 or 24:00? Now I understand: the reset starts at 00:00, not after 24:00. 24:00 is an ambiguous time point, and the system actually only recognizes 00:00 as the start of a new day. For example, last time when my points were almost maxed out, right at midnight on the reset day, the points disappeared as soon as I refreshed the app—very precise. If you're doubtful, download the Traffic Management 12123 app to check the specific date, enter your ID info, and see the system prompt. Don't wait until the last day to risk speeding or anything—that's just foolish. Remind yourself to check the point cycle regularly to avoid unnecessary trouble. This habit can also help new drivers develop safety awareness.

From my personal experience, the driver's license points reset occurs precisely at 00:00, never dragging on past 24:00. Actually, 24:00 marks the end of the same day, while the reset happens in the next second - the beginning of a new day. I once mistakenly thought I had to wait until midnight for the reset, which almost got me a speeding ticket. Understanding this rule has made driving much safer. I recommend regularly checking your points via mobile apps to prevent surprises. Remember, safe driving is the ultimate goal.

I know that the driver's license point reset absolutely starts at 00:00, which aligns with the definition of a date. While 24:00 is commonly used in spoken language to indicate the end of a day, the actual operating system triggers the point reset action at 00:00. For example, my license points are automatically reset at 00:00 on a certain day at the beginning of the month, and the points are cleared at that moment. Remember not to violate traffic rules the night before the reset day, otherwise, the points might be fully deducted. I also check the vehicle management office records to confirm and avoid misunderstandings. Developing good habits is very practical for daily commuting.

In daily driving, I often encounter people asking whether the point deduction reset is at 0:00 or 24:00. I can confirm it's cleared at 00:00. 24:00 is an expression for a time period, not an independent time point. For example, my friend's demerit point cycle ended on Friday, and by Saturday 00:00, the points were cleared, allowing him to drive out without worries. It's advisable to check your cycle start date in advance rather than guessing. This also extends to the importance of safe driving—don't take risks by violating traffic rules just because points were cleared; the consequences outweigh the benefits. Try using a vehicle management app for easier tracking.
