Is the penalty for cheating in the driving test 1 year or 3 years?

[OTimothy]

One year. Article 78 of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123 stipulates: If an applicant engages in bribery or cheating during the examination process, their qualification for the exam will be revoked, and any other subjects they have already passed will be deemed invalid. The applicant will not be allowed to apply for a motor vehicle driver's license again within one year. In other words, if caught cheating, one cannot retake the driver's license test within one year and can only continue after one year. For students who violate exam discipline, the following penalties will be imposed accordingly: 1. If a driver accumulates less than 12 penalty points within one scoring cycle: They can apply to the traffic police department to participate in traffic order maintenance activities (mainly road duty). For every 4 hours of duty, 1 penalty point can be reduced. 2. If a motor vehicle has more than 3 violation records: After being notified by the traffic police department, if the owner, user, or manager fails to handle the violations and pay the fines, the traffic police may impound the vehicle until the penalty decision is fulfilled before the vehicle can be retrieved. 3. For drivers of construction vehicles or dump trucks who have more than 3 violation records within one scoring cycle: The traffic police may impound the vehicle and impose a temporary suspension of the driver's license for a period ranging from 3 to 6 months.
