What are the 12-point deduction behaviors?
2 Answers
Common 12-point deduction violations include speeding, intentionally concealing license plates, drunk driving, hit-and-run, driving a vehicle that does not match the permitted vehicle type, overloading, reversing or driving in the wrong direction on highways, etc. Below is relevant information about motor vehicle traffic violations: 1. Cumulative scoring cycle: The cumulative scoring cycle for traffic safety violations is 12 months, with a maximum of 12 points, calculated from the date the motor vehicle driver's license is initially obtained. 2. Remedial measures: If a motor vehicle driver accumulates a full 12 points within a scoring cycle, they must report to the traffic management department of the public security authority at the place where the driver's license was issued or where the violation occurred within 15 days to receive 7 days of education on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge, followed by corresponding examinations.
As an ordinary car owner who drives frequently, I remember that time after a friend's gathering when he was caught driving under the influence. His alcohol test exceeded 80mg per 100ml, resulting in all 12 points being deducted, a fine of five thousand, and a three-month license suspension. He had to retake the driving test from scratch, which was a huge hassle. Similar serious violations include hit-and-run—leaving the scene after a collision without helping the injured, which carries even heavier penalties. Driving a vehicle type that doesn’t match your license, like using a car license to drive a heavy truck, is extremely dangerous. Speeding over 50% above the limit, such as going 90+ in a 60 zone, significantly increases the risk of rollovers. Reversing or driving the wrong way on a highway is practically playing with your life. Deliberately covering or using fake license plates to evade fines, as well as illegal modifications like altering the engine or exhaust system, will also result in losing all 12 points at once. Drive steadily, plan for a designated driver before gatherings, and avoid letting small mistakes turn into major disasters. Regular vehicle maintenance checks can greatly reduce risks.
