Is there any remedy for driver's license downgrade?
1 Answers
There is no remedy, you can only apply for an upgrade. After meeting the required years, you can apply for the driver's license upgrade exam. After passing the exam, you can obtain a higher-level driver's license. Drivers holding licenses for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium buses, or large trucks will have their highest permitted driving category revoked by the vehicle management office under the following circumstances, and the driver will be notified to complete the downgrade and license replacement within 30 days: Being involved in a traffic accident resulting in death and bearing equal or greater responsibility, without constituting a crime. Having a full 12-point demerit record within one scoring cycle. Failing to undergo inspection for three consecutive scoring cycles. If the driver fails to complete the downgrade and license replacement within the specified time, the vehicle management office will announce the revocation of the permitted driving category. After completing the downgrade and license replacement, if the driver applies to reinstate the revoked driving category, they must have no full 12-point demerit records in the current scoring cycle and the most recent one before application, and no involvement in a fatal accident bearing equal or greater responsibility. Procedure for downgrading and replacing the license after revoking the highest permitted driving category: After passing the relevant exam, receive the "Motor Vehicle Driver’s Illegal Full-Point Exam Information Feedback Notice" (for A and B class licenses, downgrade information will be noted on the notice). After the suspension period ends, bring your ID card and the "Motor Vehicle Driver’s Illegal Full-Point Exam Information Feedback Notice" to the traffic police department where the license was confiscated to retrieve your driver's license. Bring the following materials to the issuing vehicle management office to complete the downgrade and replacement (processed within one working day if there are no pending traffic violations): Original "Motor Vehicle Driver’s License Application Form." Original and copy of the driver's identity proof. Original driver's license. Three recent front-facing, bareheaded, white-background color ID photos (submit the digital photo collection receipt if required locally).
