What does a cumulative score of 3 points on a driver's license mean?
2 Answers
A cumulative score of 3 points on a driver's license means that the driver has already been deducted 3 points within the current scoring cycle of the year. Legal Basis: According to Article 23 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": In addition to administrative penalties, the traffic management department of the public security authority implements a cumulative scoring system (hereinafter referred to as scoring) for road traffic safety violations by motor vehicle drivers, with a scoring cycle of 12 months. If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 points within a scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security authority shall detain their motor vehicle driving license, and the driver shall participate in the study of road traffic safety laws and regulations and take the examination as required. If the examination is passed, the points will be cleared, and the motor vehicle driving license will be returned; if the examination is not passed, the driver shall continue to participate in study and examination. Methods to Check Driver's License Points: Visit the office halls of the traffic branches and teams in various districts and counties, and check through touch query terminals; log in to the external service websites of the municipal public security bureaus and traffic management bureaus, enter the license plate number and vehicle engine number, and click to query.
I just got my driver's license and don't understand much about points. Accumulating 3 points means you've committed traffic violations that deducted 3 points, such as not wearing a seatbelt or running a yellow light—these points add up. Don't underestimate 3 points; if they pile up, it becomes troublesome—reaching 12 points in a scoring cycle will revoke your license, and you'll have to retake the test. I recommend downloading the traffic management app to check your points and develop good habits for safe driving. Handling it is also simple—you can even reduce points by taking online traffic rule courses. Pay more attention to the rules regularly, and even beginners can drive with peace of mind.
