What does driver's license point renewal mean?
1 Answers
It refers to the situation where if a driver's license accumulates 12 penalty points for violations within a scoring cycle, the driver must attend training and pass the subject one exam to clear the points. If the violation points do not reach 12, at the start of the next scoring cycle, the public security vehicle management system will automatically reset all points from the previous cycle. Below is a detailed introduction to the scoring cycle: Pay fines in advance: The scoring cycle is 12 months, calculated from the date the motor vehicle driver's license was first issued. If the points accumulated within a scoring cycle do not reach 12 and all fines are paid before the end of the cycle, the system will automatically reset the points at the start of the next scoring cycle. Any unpaid fines will result in the points not being reset in the next cycle. Adding permitted vehicle types does not change the cycle: After adding permitted vehicle types and obtaining a new driver's license, the validity period of the driver's license will not be recalculated. Additionally, the scoring cycle always starts from the original license's initial issuance date. During the probation period after adding vehicle types, if the driver's license records 12 penalty points, the probationary driving qualification for the added vehicle types will be revoked.
