On the last day of the driver's license, which year does the deduction count towards?

[LaSerenity]

It is calculated based on the previous year, which is the last scoring cycle. The inspection cycle of a motor vehicle driver's license ends, and before 23:59 on the day the driver's license is issued, it belongs to the previous scoring cycle. Once it exceeds 0:00, it will be calculated according to the next scoring cycle. Additional information: The following are the handling of driver's license point deductions: Downgrade, for drivers holding Class A and Class B licenses, within one scoring cycle, when the points deducted reach 12, the driver's license will be automatically downgraded. A Class B license will be downgraded to a Class C license, and a Class A license will be downgraded to a Class B license. Confiscation of driver's license, according to Article 68 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses", if a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 points within one scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall confiscate their motor vehicle driver's license.

The demerit point system for a driver's license operates on a 12-month cycle, starting from the date you first obtained the license. If points are deducted on the last day of the validity period, they are counted towards the demerit point cycle year to which that day belongs, as deductions are always assigned to the corresponding annual cycle based on the date the incident occurred. The demerit points are automatically reset only after each full 12-month cycle, regardless of when the license's validity period ends; the validity period only affects whether the license needs to be renewed. For example, if I got my license on June 1, 2020, and it expires on May 31, 2026, any points deducted on May 31 would be counted in the 2025-2026 cycle. Everyone should drive carefully—accumulating too many points means having to take additional classes and tests, which isn't worth the risk of running a yellow light or speeding. Setting a reminder on your phone for the cycle date is quite handy for keeping track.

As a driver with years of experience, I understand the point deduction system thoroughly. The deduction is based on a fixed 12-month cycle, starting from the date of the first license issuance. If you get penalized on the very last day of your license's validity period, those points still count towards the current scoring cycle year. The expiration of the validity period doesn't mean the points are skipped—they only reset when the cycle ends. My license expires in 2030, but if I'm caught violating rules on the last day of the year, the points still belong to the previous year's record. Safe driving is the golden rule. High points not only affect insurance but also require attending classes and taking tests if you reach 12 points, wasting precious time. Stay focused on the road to avoid major losses for minor gains.

I just got my driver's license and have studied the demerit point rules. The demerit point cycle for a driver's license is a 12-month period starting from the date of issuance, with demerit events calculated based on the calendar year. If you get demerit points on the last day of the validity period? They are counted in the current cycle year without exception. Points are reset before the cycle ends, and you just need to renew the license when it expires. Safety first, accumulating too many points brings big troubles.

Don't confuse driver's license validity period with demerit point cycle during long-term driving. Demerit points are assigned to a 12-month cycle based on violation date, starting from your license issuance date. Points received on the license's final day count towards that year's cycle. Validity expiration doesn't affect point allocation, it just reminds you to renew. Check your license date and set early reminders. High points may impact annual review - drive carefully to avoid trouble.

As an experienced driver, I've had my fair share of points deducted from my license. The deduction cycle is a fixed 12-month rolling period starting from the license issuance date, with the occurrence date determining the year it belongs to. Points deducted on the very last day of the validity period are counted within the cycle year of that day. Points are reset at the end of the cycle, while the expiration of the validity period only involves renewing the license. Don't think that points deducted on the last day don't count—they still accumulate. Everyone should remember to note the cycle date, stay observant of road conditions while driving, and avoid rushing. It makes for a much safer and worry-free experience.
