Must Points Deducted from Driver's License Be Processed Within One Month?
2 Answers
Different point deduction situations have different processing times: Speeding: For speeding violations, you must go to the local traffic police station to handle the penalty within 15 days after the violation. If you fail to do so within 15 days, a late fee of 3% per day will be charged, but the late fee will not exceed double the original fine amount. Electronic Monitoring Photography: If the violation is captured by electronic monitoring, the vehicle owner can check the violation record on the traffic website and then go to the local traffic police station to handle it within one month before the vehicle's annual inspection. There's no need to process it within 15 days. However, be careful not to exceed the driver's license point cycle to avoid accumulating 12 points in the next cycle due to untimely clearance. Electronic Surveillance Capture: For violations captured by electronic surveillance, there is no processing time limit. You can handle it a few days before the vehicle's annual inspection or a few days before the driver's license point cycle is cleared. For violations handled by on-site traffic police enforcement, they should be processed within the specified time; otherwise, a late fee will be charged at 3% per day, with the maximum not exceeding the fine amount.
I've been driving for nearly twenty years and have extensive experience dealing with license points deductions. After points are deducted from your license, the deduction itself is automatically recorded by the system, so there's no need to specifically handle it within a month. However, fines must be paid within 15 days, otherwise late fees will be incurred, and the longer you delay, the more the fine increases. If you accumulate up to 12 points, you'll have to go to the DMV for re-education or retake the driving test, or even have your license suspended. Once, I forgot to pay on time and ended up paying extra fines for nothing, almost delaying my annual inspection. Nowadays, it's much more convenient with the 12123 APP—you can handle payments and other matters right on your phone. I remind everyone to act quickly after a violation, but the real key is safe driving to minimize points deductions.
