What does a cumulative score of 5 points on a driver's license mean?
2 Answers
A cumulative score of 5 points on a driver's license means that 5 points have been deducted for violating traffic rules. The following are the procedures for handling driver's license point deductions: 1. If within one scoring cycle: There are two violations with 12 points each or the cumulative points deducted exceed 24 points, the driver not only has to study for seven days and retake the Subject 1 exam, but must also take the Subject 3 exam within ten days of passing the first exam. Only after passing both exams can the driver return to the road. 2. Regulations: "If a motor vehicle driver has two or more violations reaching 12 points or a cumulative score of 24 points or more within one scoring cycle, the vehicle management office must also conduct a road driving skills test within ten days after the driver passes the exam on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. For those taking the road driving skills test, the exam will be based on the highest permitted vehicle type indicated on their motor vehicle driver's license."
I just got my driver's license last year and was a bit excited when driving on the road. Unfortunately, I accidentally exceeded the speed limit twice in the city and was caught on camera, resulting in 6 points deducted. Later, I saw the green light about to turn red and accelerated to pass, which cost me another 3 points, totaling 5 points so far. Having 5 cumulative points on my license means I’ve been penalized for five violations, leaving only 7 points available. I need to be careful not to make more mistakes. If I continue to violate traffic rules and reach 12 points, not only will I have to attend a traffic safety course, but my license might also be temporarily suspended, requiring a retest—which is really troublesome. Now, I use a mobile app to regularly check my points and enable navigation alerts for speed limits to avoid further mistakes. Safe driving is more important than anything else.
