What are the new regulations for resetting driving license points?

The new regulations for resetting driving license points are: 1. The cumulative scoring cycle for road traffic safety violations is 12 months, with a full score of 12 points, calculated from the date of initial issuance of the motor vehicle driving license, and so on, in a continuous cycle; 2. The reset time for the driving license is the issuance date on the license. The system automatically resets the points on the issuance date each year, starting from the initial issuance date of the driving license, with one year as a scoring cycle, and so on, in a continuous cycle; 4. If the penalty points for violations do not reach 12 points within one scoring cycle, the scoring system will automatically reset the points from the previous scoring cycle (after the fine is paid) at the start of the next scoring cycle; 3. If the points reach 12, the driver must attend a study session and pass the subject one test at the vehicle management office where the license was issued or where the violation occurred (if the points reach 12 twice consecutively in one scoring cycle, subject three will be added to the test). Only after passing the test can the points be reset; otherwise, the driving license cannot be used normally.
Last year, I got points deducted for speeding and later specifically looked into the rules about resetting driver's license points. Actually, the scoring cycle is a 12-month period starting from the date you obtained your license, not the end of the year or a fixed holiday. On the anniversary of your license issuance date, as long as you haven't accumulated 12 points and all fines have been paid, the points will automatically reset. However, if you reach 12 points within the cycle, you'll have to attend a seven-day course at the traffic management department and retake the theory test (Subject 1) to clear the points. I have a friend who waited until the reset date only to find out their violations weren't handled, resulting in the points not being cleared, making them drive extra carefully the following year. Now, I always try to stay within the speed limit when driving, because even though 12 points seem like a lot, they can disappear quickly if you're not careful.
