What are the consequences of having all 12 points deducted from a driver's license?
2 Answers
C1 driver's license: If all 12 points are deducted at once, the holder must attend a Category 1 training and examination at the vehicle management office. Upon passing the exam, the points will be reset to zero, and the license will be returned. For Class A and Class B licenses, they will be downgraded. Below is an introduction to driver's license knowledge: 1. Definition of a driver's license: A driver's license, also known as a "driving license," is the official document required by law for operating motor vehicles. 2. License downgrade: For drivers holding Class A or Class B licenses, if they accumulate 12 points within a single scoring cycle, their license will automatically be downgraded. A Class B license will be downgraded to Class C, and a Class A license will be downgraded to Class B.
When I first got all 12 points deducted, it was such a headache. I had to go to the DMV for a seven-day traffic law course and retake the written test. During this time, my driver's license was suspended, so I couldn’t drive at all. If caught driving illegally, it would count as unlicensed driving—fines or even detention! Worse, some cities revoke the highest permitted vehicle class—my neighbor lost his job because he couldn’t drive trucks anymore. The biggest downside? After points reset, the cycle restarts, and another violation lands you on the blacklist. I recommend checking navigation apps for speed alerts—like Amap’s real-time camera warnings—to avoid trouble.
