When it comes to traffic violations that result in a 12-point deduction, drunk driving is the most common. Having driven for over a decade, I've encountered many similar situations. If caught by traffic police for drunk driving, you'll lose all 12 points instantly, and your license will be revoked immediately. It's not just about the points—the safety risks are enormous. Every year, too many accidents stem from drunk driving, leading to family tragedies. To avoid this, always adhere to the principle of not driving after drinking. If you must attend social events, take a taxi or hire a designated driver. Remember, after losing points, you'll also need to retake the theoretical exam, which is time-consuming and exhausting—totally not worth it.

Last time I heard from an experienced driver friend that his nephew was caught speeding over 50% by a traffic camera while racing, resulting in a one-time deduction of 12 points. His driver's license was suspended for more than half a year. Not only does this behavior lead to point deductions, but it also carries extremely high risks. A slight distraction on the highway could lead to a major disaster. I recommend everyone to control their speed on the road, especially in busy urban areas, and make good use of navigation alerts. After losing all points, you have to attend a training course and pass a re-examination before you can drive again, which is both troublesome and time-consuming.

Behaviors that result in a 12-point deduction mainly include drunk driving and severe speeding. From a safety perspective, these are highly likely to cause accidents, such as delayed reactions from drunk driving and a soaring probability of losing control due to speeding. After the points are deducted, the driver's license is temporarily suspended, requiring a retest, which adds inconvenience to daily travel. I often remind my friends not to make these mistakes, as safety comes first.

As someone who frequently drives on the highway, I know that hit-and-run is also a violation that directly deducts 12 points. Once an accident occurs but you flee, not only will you face severe point deductions, but you may also be held criminally liable. This stems from a lack of responsibility, and it's important to stay calm and call the police. I've seen similar cases in the news where victims' injuries worsened, leading to regret. Pay attention to your surroundings while driving and maintain a safe distance to reduce accidents. After losing points, it's advisable to promptly enroll in a traffic safety course to prepare for retaking the test.
