Driver's license downgrading regulations: For drivers holding licenses for large buses, tractors, urban buses, medium buses, or large trucks, the vehicle management office shall revoke their highest permitted driving class under the following circumstances and notify the driver to complete the downgrade and license replacement procedures within 30 days. Being involved in a traffic accident resulting in death, bearing equal or greater responsibility, without constituting a crime. Accumulating 12 penalty points within one scoring cycle. Failing to participate in the review for three consecutive scoring cycles. If the driver fails to complete the downgrade and license replacement procedures within the specified time, the vehicle management office shall announce the revocation of the permitted driving class as invalid. After completing the downgrade and license replacement procedures, if the driver applies to reinstate the revoked driving class, they must not have accumulated 12 penalty points in the current scoring cycle and the most recent scoring cycle before application, nor have been involved in a traffic accident resulting in death with equal or greater responsibility. Procedure for downgrading and license replacement after revoking the highest permitted driving class: After passing the relevant examination, receive the "Feedback Notice of Illegal Full-Point Examination for Motor Vehicle Drivers" (for Class A and B licenses, downgrade information will be noted on the notice). After the suspension period ends, present the ID card and the "Feedback Notice of Illegal Full-Point Examination for Motor Vehicle Drivers" to the traffic police team where the license was confiscated to retrieve the driver's license. Submit the following materials to the issuing vehicle management office for downgrade and license replacement (processed within one working day if there are no pending traffic violations): Original "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form". Original and copy of the driver's identity proof. Original motor vehicle driver's license. Three recent front-facing, bareheaded, white-background color ID photos (submit the digital photo collection receipt if required by local regulations).
