What does clearing points on a driver's license mean?
2 Answers
It refers to the clearance of deducted points on a motor vehicle driver's license at the end of a scoring cycle, restoring the full 12 points. A normally used motor vehicle driver's license will automatically regain 12 points at the end of a scoring cycle. Precautions for driver's license point deduction: When using a motor vehicle driver's license, it is important to note that you cannot help others handle traffic violations; you can only handle violations for your own vehicle. Driver's license retraining and downgrading: Handling traffic violations with 11 points or fewer does not affect the use of a Class C motor vehicle driver's license. However, for violations resulting in 12 points, the license holder must participate in study and exams to regain the driver's license. For Class A and B motor vehicle driver's licenses, after deducting 12 points, a downgrade procedure must be completed at the end of the scoring cycle.
I've been driving for over a decade, and the driver's license point reset is quite important. It refers to the annual cycle starting from the license issuance date. At the end of each 12-month period, if your accumulated penalty points don't reach 12, your points will automatically reset to zero. However, if you accumulate 12 points during this period, you'll need to attend traffic police training and pass an exam to restore your driving privileges. A friend of mine once got points deducted for running a red light and almost exceeded the limit. After his points reset, he became extremely cautious. I think this system is good as it keeps drivers alert, encourages compliance with traffic rules, and helps prevent accidents. You can regularly check your point status on the traffic management app, and always pay attention to speed limits and avoid violations while driving—safety comes first.
