What does a cumulative score of 0 points on the 12123 driver's license mean?

A cumulative score of 0 points on the 12123 platform means that your driver's license has no accumulated penalty points, indicating no traffic violations or deductions, and that you have not incurred any point deductions during the current scoring cycle. Here are the key points to note after obtaining a new driver's license: 1. Probationary Period: The probationary period lasts for one year from the date of obtaining the license. During this period, certain restrictions apply. For instance, drivers on probation are not allowed to drive on highways unless accompanied by a licensed driver with at least 3 years of experience. For a C1 license, accumulating 12 points during the probationary period will result in immediate revocation of driving privileges. For larger vehicle licenses (B-class and above), accumulating 6-12 points (but less than 12) will extend the probationary period by one year, and the driver must retake the theoretical exam (Subject 1) within 30 days after the probationary period ends. 2. License Renewal: After the one-year probationary period, the license must be renewed at the issuing vehicle management office, provided there are no outstanding violations. After 6 years, the license must be renewed again at the issuing office, which requires a medical examination, along with the original license, ID card, and three 1-inch color photos to complete the application form. 3. Scoring Cycle: The scoring cycle for a driver's license is one year from the date of issuance. If a C1 license does not accumulate 12 points within this year and all violations are settled and fines paid before the next cycle begins, the points will be reset to 12 at the start of the new cycle.
A cumulative score of 0 points on your driver's license is great news—it means your license currently has no violation points, indicating you've been driving responsibly without being caught for offenses like running red lights or speeding. The 12123 platform is the official traffic service I often use to check records, allowing real-time monitoring of my license status. Having 0 points feels reassuring, eliminating worries about license suspension or revocation due to maxed-out points, and it may even lower insurance premiums. Driver's license points are cumulative; each violation adds points, and exceeding 12 total points requires retaking the theoretical exam. That’s why I always advise friends to maintain this 0-point status—avoid distractions like phone use, control speed, buckle up, and prioritize safety. Regularly checking 12123 ensures clean records, preventing minor issues from escalating.
