2 Answers
Violations that result in 12-point deductions include overloading, etc. Here is a detailed introduction to specific violations that result in a 12-point deduction: Overloading: Operating a commercial passenger vehicle (excluding buses) or school bus carrying more than 20% of the approved passenger capacity. Irregular vehicle license plates: Driving a motor vehicle on the road without displaying a license plate, or intentionally covering, damaging, or improperly installing the license plate, using forged or altered motor vehicle license plates, registration certificates, driving licenses, school bus signs, or using license plates or registration certificates from other vehicles. Speeding: Driving medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicles, school buses, or hazardous material transport vehicles on highways or urban expressways at speeds exceeding 20% of the limit, or driving on other roads at speeds exceeding 50% of the limit, or driving other motor vehicles at speeds exceeding 50% of the limit. Illegal driving: Reversing, driving against traffic, or making U-turns across the central divider on highways, or stopping a commercial passenger vehicle in a highway lane.
That time I wasn’t paying attention while driving and ended up losing all my points. Later, I learned there are quite a few violations that result in a full 12-point deduction. The most common one is drunk driving—even if you’ve only had a little and drive just a short distance, getting caught means losing all 12 points. Exceeding the speed limit by more than 50 km/h is another surefire way to lose all your points, as is reversing or driving the wrong way on a highway—both are extremely dangerous. If you use fake license plates or deliberately cover them up, the traffic police will definitely deduct all 12 points upon inspection. Hit-and-run cases are even more severe—whether you hit a person or another car, fleeing the scene without handling it counts as a 12-point deduction, even if it’s not a criminal offense. The most easily overlooked violation is fatigued driving—driving a large passenger vehicle for more than four hours without rest also results in a full deduction. I recommend checking the rules before driving to avoid ending up like me.
