New Regulations on Not Downgrading Driving License After Accumulating 12 Points

[Hector]

For a Class C driving license, accumulating more than 12 points will not result in downgrading, but will instead lead to detention, training, revocation, and fines in accordance with traffic laws. According to the relevant provisions of the "Road Traffic Safety Law," "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law," and the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," if a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 points within a scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security organ will detain their motor vehicle driving license, provide them with 7 days of education on road traffic safety laws and regulations, and require them to retake the exam. The point clearance time for the driving license is the issuance date on the license, and the system automatically clears the points on the issuance date each year. Starting from the "initial license date" on the driving license, one year constitutes a scoring cycle, and this cycle continues to repeat accordingly.
