Below are the specific steps for downgrading a driver's license after deducting 12 points: 1. License confiscation: If a B2 driver's license accumulates 12 penalty points within one scoring cycle, the driver must apply for a downgrade and license replacement at the vehicle management office within 30 days. The traffic police department will first confiscate the motor vehicle driver's license, and online queries via traffic cameras will also show the confiscated status. 2. Attend training: The driver must report to the traffic police department at the license issuing location or the place where the violation occurred within 15 days to attend a seven-day road safety knowledge training, followed by an exam. 3. Downgrade: Upon passing the exam, the accumulated points will be cleared, and the B2 driver's license will be downgraded to C1.
I still remember that experience when my driver's license was deducted a full 12 points - what a hassle. After receiving the traffic police notification, I immediately reported to the DMV. The staff told me to first settle the traffic violation records and pay all the fines. Then I had to sign up for a 7-day traffic safety training course, requiring daily attendance, covering traffic regulations and safe driving techniques. After completing the course, I had to take the subject one exam. The questions weren't too difficult, but you had to answer all correctly to pass. After the exam, my A1 license was directly downgraded to C1. The whole process took nearly two weeks, delaying work and costing money. A reminder to everyone: don't speed while driving - once points get deducted, it's a complete headache.
