What happens if caught driving with a full 12-point deduction on the license?

[DeJameson]

Driving with a full 12-point deduction on the driver's license will result in a fine. Below are the relevant details about point deductions: 1. Accumulating 12 points in one cycle: If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 points in a single scoring cycle, they must report to the traffic management department of the public security authority at the location where the driver's license was issued or where the violation occurred within 15 days to receive seven days of education on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. After completing the education, the vehicle management office must administer a subject one exam within 20 days. 2. 12 points during the probationary period: If a driver accumulates 12 points during the probationary period, the driver's license will be invalidated, and the driver must re-study and re-take the driving test. If 12 points are accumulated after the probationary period, the driver must undergo seven days of study and training and retake the subject one exam.

I've been through this before. Last year, I lost all 12 points for speeding but still risked driving to the supermarket, only to get pulled over by traffic police. I was immediately taken to the traffic police station for a statement, fined 2,000 RMB, and my car was impounded for half a month. The biggest hassle was having to attend a 7-day traffic rules course and retake the written test to get my license back—the whole process dragged on for almost a month. Looking back now, it really wasn’t worth it. Not only did it disrupt my work and cost me wages, but I also had to reschedule the test. Honestly, I’d advise anyone who loses all 12 points to just take a taxi. Don’t end up like me, where the penalties outweigh the gains. Plus, the ticket record can affect your future insurance rates.

Driving with a full 12-point deduction on your license is equivalent to driving without a license, and the penalties are severe. Traffic police will impound your vehicle on the spot, issue a fine of over 2,000 yuan, and in serious cases, detain you for 15 days. The handling process is also quite cumbersome: first, go to the traffic police station to address the violation records and sign to confirm the offense; then, you must attend full-point education at the vehicle management office and pass the theoretical exam for Subject 1; finally, pay all fines before reclaiming your license. The entire process takes at least two to three weeks, and during the vehicle impoundment period, daily parking fees will also accumulate. It is recommended that car owners download the Traffic Management 12123 app to check their point status regularly and voluntarily stop driving once points are fully deducted.

My cousin got caught the same way last month. After accumulating 12 penalty points, he thought driving late at night would be fine, but was snapped by traffic cameras. When the traffic police notified him, he was completely stunned - ended up with a 1,800 yuan fine. The worst part? His delivery truck got impounded for 20 whole days, delaying shipments and earning him an earful from his boss. Now he has to clock in weekly at traffic safety school to retake the theory test. The real kicker? This whole mess cost him both money and time. Moral of the story: when you max out your points, just take the bus like you're supposed to.
