No Traffic Violations but Showing 11 Points Left?
3 Answers
First, since the total points on a driver's license is 12, having 11 points left means only 11 points are available for handling. The deducted one point can be checked on the violation platform to see if there are any traffic violations or illegal parking behaviors. Driver's license point deduction is a penalty for traffic violations by drivers, with the maximum points deducted for a single offense being 12, based on the severity of the road traffic violation.
This is a pretty common issue. I think the reason your driver's license points show 11 remaining instead of the full 12 is likely due to the initial setup of the license point system. From what I've observed, in many regions, new drivers don't receive the full points immediately. There might be some default pre-deductions or the system starts counting with one less point when the validity period begins, as a reminder to drive safely. Another possibility is that the app you're using to check might be displaying inaccurate or delayed information. I've seen cases where app synchronization issues caused abnormal point displays. I recommend logging into the official point inquiry platform to verify. If you truly haven't committed any violations, it might just be a minor system glitch. Additionally, sometimes even if you haven't violated any rules personally, issues with vehicle registration or others' operations might accidentally trigger deductions. You should visit the DMV to clarify this as soon as possible - don't delay, safety comes first.
I once encountered this situation too—it showed 11 points even though I hadn't committed any violations. Later, I learned that the driver's license point system sometimes has different initial allocations, with some starting at 11 points and resetting to 12 after a year. It could also be a bug in the query system, such as network transmission errors or delayed database updates. Also, don’t forget to check for historical records: some minor violations like overtime parking may deduct points automatically without you noticing. I recommend logging into the traffic management bureau’s website directly via computer to verify, rather than relying solely on mobile apps. If the issue persists, contact customer service to help correct it. Points are tied to driving eligibility, so staying updated with app notifications can help avoid misunderstandings.
