What are the penalties for accumulating more than 12 points on a driver's license?
2 Answers
After a driver's license is deducted 12 points, the traffic management department will confiscate the license, requiring the vehicle owner to retake courses and exams. The following is the specific process for the driving skill test: 1. Registration for study: The driver needs to bring the "Admission Notice" to the school to register and participate in the study. If the driver finds out through inquiry that the points have been fully deducted, they can also bring their driver's license to register, which is equally valid. 2. Study courses: The courses include road violation points and penalties, driver psychological quality and traffic safety, road traffic safety laws and regulations, etc. 3. Passing the test and returning the license: After the motor vehicle driver participates in the study, the vehicle management department should conduct a road traffic safety law, regulation, and related knowledge test within 20 days. If the test is passed, the points will be cleared, and the motor vehicle driver's license will be returned.
Exceeding 12 penalty points on your driver's license is a serious matter. According to traffic regulations, your license will be temporarily suspended, and you'll need to report to the local traffic police department to attend a seven-day traffic safety course. There, you'll study traffic laws and safety knowledge, and upon completion, you must pass the theoretical exam (Subject 1). Only if you pass the exam can your license be reinstated; failing means you'll have to retake it. The entire process is time-consuming and costly, with fines typically amounting to several hundred yuan. Repeatedly exceeding the point limit may require retaking all driving tests. This isn't just a penalty—it's to ensure road safety. With over ten years of driving experience, I always remind my friends to follow the rules and avoid risky speeding, as the consequences can be quite troublesome.
