If the accumulated points on a driver's license do not reach 12 and are not handled, the demerit points will carry over to the next scoring cycle. If the accumulated points reach 12 and are not handled, the traffic management department of the public security authority will announce the suspension of the driver's license. Below are detailed explanations: Explanation 1: If a motor vehicle driver's accumulated points within a scoring cycle do not reach 12 and all fines have been paid, the points will be cleared. Explanation 2: If the accumulated points do not reach 12 but there are unpaid fines, the points will carry over to the next scoring cycle. Explanation 3: If a motor vehicle driver's accumulated points reach 12 or more twice within a scoring cycle, in addition to having the driver's license confiscated, attending mandatory courses, and taking exams as stipulated in Article 23, the driver must also undergo a driving skills test.

Last year, I was driving a company car to deliver documents and got 3 points deducted for speeding. I didn't handle the ticket in time, and the fine doubled when it expired. If the points accumulate to 12, you have to attend traffic school for a week and take a test, which is a real hassle. Now I check my violation records every month and recommend setting up phone reminders to avoid forgetting. Related point: A friend in a similar situation affected their annual inspection, almost delaying an important appointment—causing both inconvenience and extra costs. Safety comes first when driving; don't let small issues become big problems. Developing good habits can save a lot of trouble.

Last time I was caught speeding on the highway and got 2 points deducted. Because I was busy, I forgot to handle it, and later found out my insurance premium increased by 20%, and the fine doubled. Everyone must remember to clear the points as soon as possible, otherwise if you reach the full 12 points, you'll have to retake the traffic rules written test and road test, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Young people love to procrastinate, but it's better to just go online or to the traffic management office to get it done early. Note: Similar delays may affect the time for license renewal, completely messing up travel plans. It's better to set a schedule reminder to regularly check for violations.

I'm a seasoned driver with over 30 years of experience, and I'm telling you that ignoring traffic violation points is very dangerous: accumulating 12 points may lead to license suspension or even revocation, and retaking the test is time-consuming and labor-intensive. I've seen neighbors delay handling violations, which later affected their annual vehicle inspections, making even grocery shopping a problem. Safe driving is our duty—clear those points immediately when you receive a ticket; don't underestimate this matter. Related: Small fines can add up and may double, so taking early action is the best strategy.
