What happens when a motor vehicle driver accumulates a certain number of demerit points within a scoring cycle?
1 Answers
According to the regulations, the scoring cycle for road traffic safety violations is 12 months, calculated from the date the motor vehicle driver's license is initially obtained, with a full score of 12 points. The severity of general road traffic safety violations determines the demerit points assigned for each offense, which can be: 12 points, 6 points, 3 points, 2 points, or 1 point. Article 68 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses' stipulates that if a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 demerit points within a scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall detain their motor vehicle driver's license.
