Is the driver's license score reset time at 0:00 or 24:00 on the same day?

Driver's license score reset time is not at 24:00 on the same day but at 0:00. The scoring cycle of a driver's license is calculated from the initial issuance date of the license. A scoring cycle starts at 0:00 on the initial issuance date each year and ends at 24:00 on the day before the initial issuance date of the following year. Here is relevant information about traffic violation point deductions: Legal provisions: According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," if a motor vehicle driver's accumulated points within a scoring cycle do not reach 12 points and all fines have been paid, the points will be cleared; otherwise, the points will be carried over to the next scoring cycle. If a driver accumulates 12 points within a scoring cycle, they must attend study sessions and take the subject one exam at the vehicle management office where the license was issued or at the location of the violation. Only after passing the exam and paying all fines can the points be cleared. For those who accumulate 12 points twice or more, or whose cumulative points exceed 24 points, in addition to taking the subject one exam, they must also take the subject three exam. Accumulating 12 points: A Class C driver's license will be temporarily suspended by the traffic management department, and the driver must attend study sessions on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge, as well as take the exam within 15 days at a designated location. Passing the exam will clear the points and return the license; otherwise, the driver must continue studying and retaking the exam. Class A and B driver's licenses will face downgrade penalties, with the vehicle management office revoking the highest permitted driving model. The driver must complete the downgrade and license replacement procedures within 30 days.
Oh man, I learned the hard way about these driver's license points. The points reset exactly at midnight on the anniversary of your license issuance date! For example, if you got your license on May 20th, your points will be cleared right after midnight on May 20th every year. But heads up - the system update might be slightly delayed, so it's safer to wait half a day before handling traffic violations. The most reliable approach is to check the 12123 app the next day to confirm if your points have been reset. Be extra careful during the last few days of your scoring cycle - don't wait until the last minute to deal with tickets. Imagine getting a delayed ticket that crosses into the new cycle - that would be a major bummer!
