What does 11 cumulative demerit points on a driver's license mean?
1 Answers
11 cumulative demerit points on a driver's license means that the license has accumulated 11 points (due to traffic violations) within one scoring cycle. Impact of having 11 demerit points on a driver's license: You can still drive with 11 demerit points on your license, and it doesn't significantly affect your driving. However, you should drive more carefully to avoid accumulating 12 or more points. The main impact of having 11 demerit points may be the need to pay corresponding fines. After handling the violations, the points will automatically reset to zero at the start of the next scoring cycle. Regulations on driver's license demerit points: For the first year after obtaining a driver's license (the probationary period), if you accumulate 12 or more points, your probationary driving qualification will be revoked. The driver must pass all subject exams again to regain the license. After the probationary period ends, no license replacement is required, and it automatically becomes a full license. Outside the probationary period, if you receive 12 points in a single violation or accumulate 12 points in one scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security organ will confiscate your driver's license. The driver must attend a seven-day course on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge at the traffic management department of the public security organ where the license was issued or where the violation occurred within 15 days.
