Must Points Be Deducted from Driver's License 10 Days in Advance?
2 Answers
There is no regulation requiring points to be deducted 10 days in advance, but traffic violations must be processed within the current scoring cycle. Otherwise, the violation records will be carried over to the next scoring cycle, resulting in the next cycle not starting from 0 points. Here is relevant information: The scoring cycle for a driver's license: Each cycle lasts 12 months, calculated from the date of license issuance. For example, if a license was issued on September 9, 2019, its scoring cycle will end at 23:59:59 on September 9, 2020, when the traffic police's scoring system will automatically reset the points. Driver's licenses start with 0 points and accumulate up to 12 points, after which relevant penalties will apply. Timing for processing points deduction: Although there is no rule requiring points to be deducted before the scoring cycle resets, it is advisable to process them some time before the reset if possible. This is because delays or other issues in the traffic police system might cause violation records not to be processed within the current cycle, leading them to be carried over to the next cycle.
Hi, I saw someone asking whether points are deducted from the driver's license ten days in advance. Actually, that's a misunderstanding. I've been driving for over ten years myself, and I remember the first time I violated traffic rules, I was pulled over by the police and issued a ticket. The points were automatically recorded by the system, and I didn't need to apply for anything. When caught by traffic cameras or stopped by traffic police, the points are deducted within a few days after processing—there's no such thing as ten days in advance. That time, I was caught speeding by a camera, and I received the ticket notice the next day, with the points updated on the app. If it really took ten days in advance, wouldn't that be a hassle? Just pay attention to the rules while driving, like obeying speed limits and not using the phone, to avoid accumulating too many points and having to attend classes or retake the test.
