Having zero points on a driver's license means the driver has not been penalized with demerit points for violating road traffic safety laws. Below is a detailed explanation: Driver's license point system rules: The default status of a driver's license is 0 points. Each traffic violation results in corresponding demerit points being added according to regulations. If accumulated points reach or exceed 12 within a single point cycle, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall confiscate the motor vehicle driver's license. The driver must then attend a seven-day traffic safety laws and regulations training course within 15 days at either the license issuing authority or the traffic management department where the violation occurred. Driver's license demerit point standards: The accumulation cycle for road traffic safety violations (point cycle) is 12 months, with a maximum of 12 points, calculated from the date of initial license issuance. Depending on the severity of the traffic violation, demerit points are assigned in five levels: 12 points, 6 points, 3 points, 2 points, or 1 point per violation.
