What does a cumulative score of 8 points mean?
2 Answers
A cumulative deduction of 8 points refers to the accumulation of penalty points on a driver's license. As long as the total points accumulated within one scoring cycle (a one-year period starting from the date of initial license issuance) do not exceed 12 points, the system will reset the accumulated points to zero at the start of the next scoring cycle after the fines are paid. If a driver accumulates 12 points, the traffic police will notify them to attend a training course. Below are relevant details: 1. Driver's license penalty points: Penalty points on a driver's license are a form of punishment for traffic violations. Depending on the severity of the violation, points can range from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 12 per offense. A scoring cycle is equivalent to one inspection period. If a driver accumulates 12 points within one cycle, they lose their driving privileges and must undergo at least 7 days of traffic safety education. Driving privileges are restored only after passing a test. 2. Passing the test: The penalty points are cleared, and the driver's license is returned. Failing the test requires continued participation in education and retesting. Refusing to attend the training or take the test will result in the suspension of the driver's license by the traffic management authorities.
I've been driving for over 15 years and have seen many drivers accumulate 8 points, which means you've committed multiple traffic violations resulting in quite a few penalty points, usually from minor infractions like speeding, running red lights, or crossing solid lines. You're just 4 points away from the maximum 12 points. If you don't pay more attention, your license could be suspended, and you'd have to attend traffic department classes and pass tests to get it back. This indicates your driving habits are quite risky and prone to accidents, such as sharp turns or rear-end collisions. I suggest you immediately check your violation records to see which mistakes you frequently make. Use navigation apps more often to remind you of speed limit changes and avoid driving while fatigued at night. Safety first—don't let points disrupt your life. You can download official apps to monitor your point status and make corrections early.
