What does a cumulative score of 9 points mean?
2 Answers
Cumulative score of 9 points means 9 points have been deducted for violations. Cumulative scoring cycle: The cumulative scoring cycle (i.e., scoring cycle) is 12 months, with a full score of 12 points, calculated from the date the motor vehicle driver's license is first obtained. Based on the severity of road traffic violations, the points deducted at one time are: 12 points, 6 points, 3 points, 2 points, and 1 point. Cumulative score of 12 points: If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 points within one scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security authority shall detain their motor vehicle driver's license. The motor vehicle driver shall, within 15 days, go to the traffic management department of the public security authority at the place where the driver's license was issued or where the violation occurred to participate in a seven-day study of road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge.
I remember when I was learning to drive, the instructor mentioned that accumulating 9 points means you've been deducted 9 points on your driver's license within the scoring cycle (usually one year). These points are accumulated from traffic violations, such as running a red light (6 points) or crossing a solid line (3 points), which are common offenses. Since it hasn't reached 12 points yet, your license won't be suspended, and you can continue driving as usual without major penalties for now. But you need to be careful—if you get another 3 points to reach 12, you'll have to attend classes and pass an exam at the traffic management department to clear the points, which is a big hassle. My friend often speeds in the city, and when he checks his points on the app, they're already at 8 or 9. He slows down every time and uses navigation reminders to avoid speeding. I recommend installing the 12123 app to check your points in real time and developing the habit of paying attention to road signs to prevent further deductions. After all, safety comes first—don't take risks.
