What happens if all the points on your driver's license are deducted?

If all the points on your driver's license are deducted and you are still in the probationary period, your license will be revoked. If the probationary period has passed, you will need to retake the subject one exam. Below is relevant information about driver's licenses: 1. For A/B class driver's licenses: If 12 points are accumulated within one scoring cycle, the license will be downgraded. 2. According to the regulations on the application and use of motor vehicle driver's licenses: If the holder of a large passenger vehicle, tractor, city bus, medium passenger vehicle, or large truck driver's license meets any of the following conditions, the vehicle management office shall revoke their highest permitted driving qualification and notify the driver to complete the downgrade and license replacement procedures within thirty days.
As a veteran driver with 20 years of experience, I and several fellow car enthusiasts around me have all experienced similar situations. Losing all your driving license points is no trivial matter—the traffic authorities will directly revoke your license, typically resulting in a suspension of 3 to 6 months at minimum. During this period, you won't be able to drive to work or pick up family members, completely disrupting daily life. You'll have to attend traffic regulation classes and then retake both the theoretical and practical driving tests to regain your license. The process is time-consuming and costly, and it may even affect your job or social credibility. I strongly advise everyone to develop good driving habits—avoid speeding, running red lights, and similar violations. Regularly check your points on the traffic management app, as prevention is far better than dealing with the consequences afterward.
