What are the consequences of deducting 12 points?

[KendraDella]

If all 12 points on your driver's license are deducted, your license will be temporarily suspended. The driver must report to the traffic management department of the public security authority at the place where the license was issued or where the violation occurred within 15 days to attend a seven-day study session on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. After passing the study and examination, the deducted points will be cleared, and the license will be returned. If 12 points are deducted during the probationary period of the license, the license will be revoked. Related information: Point reset: The points on a driver's license are reset every scoring cycle, with each cycle lasting 12 months. Behaviors leading to 12-point deduction: Reversing, driving in the wrong direction, or making a U-turn across the central divider on a highway; speeding more than 50% over the limit; drunk driving; fleeing the scene of an accident without constituting a crime; failing to display, forging, altering, or improperly installing license plates; intentionally obscuring or damaging license plates; installing license plates not in compliance with regulations.

Just got my driver's license and already maxed out the penalty points – what a hassle. As an ordinary office worker, I remember getting caught speeding three times, which quickly added up to 12 points. The consequences were severe: I had to take a whole week off to attend traffic safety training courses at the DMV, listening to lectures on regulations from morning till night. After the course, I had to retake the written test (Subject 1) to regain my driving privileges. The worst part was not being able to drive during that period – commuting by taxi or bus wasted both time and money. Additionally, my car insurance premium skyrocketed by over 30% when the insurer found out. Young drivers, learn from my recklessness: use speed limit reminder apps and drive cautiously to avoid trouble. Remember, committing another violation within a year after losing all points could mean license revocation – the stakes are too high.

I've been driving for over ten years and have seen too many unlucky fellows who maxed out their demerit points. Although it never happened to me, a friend of mine got 12 points deducted last year for drunk driving. He complained about having to attend traffic law classes, take exams, and even retake tests afterward—the whole process was time-consuming and exhausting. The key impact was on his daily life: he couldn't drive to work, forcing his kid's school commute to rely on neighbors for rides, throwing everything into chaos. His insurance premiums also skyrocketed, adding significant financial pressure. In more severe cases, if the point deduction resulted from serious violations like running a red light causing an accident, the legal consequences would be even heavier. That's why I now drive extra carefully, constantly reminding myself not to speed or drive under the influence. Installing a speed reminder device has really helped. Safety first is the only sustainable way.

The consequences of maxing out penalty points are no joke. I have to take time off to attend traffic law classes, which will take about a week. Right after completing the course, I'll need to take the theory test immediately – failing it would be even more troublesome. This all started because I accumulated points for speeding; I really regret not paying attention to the speed limits. The penalty points also affect insurance premiums, and I've been notified of a significant increase. Even worse, another violation could lead to license suspension. My advice: use your navigation system to remind yourself of speed limits while driving to avoid maxing out points.

As the backbone of the family, I almost accumulated 12 penalty points last year due to occasional speeding tickets. The consequences were truly frustrating: I had to attend traffic safety courses and take exams, which disrupted my routine of picking up and dropping off the kids. If I had maxed out the points, I wouldn't have been able to drive during the course period, leaving everything to my husband. Financially, car insurance premiums would rise, with my insurance estimated to increase by half. More importantly, the safety risks escalate, as accumulating points often stems from drunk driving or speeding, increasing the burden of family responsibility in case of an accident. Now, I often remind myself and my kids to drive by the rules, slow down in urban areas, and develop good habits to avoid major mishaps.
