What is the process for retaking the driving test after accumulating 12 points on the license?

[FranciscoDella]

Drivers whose driving licenses have accumulated 12 penalty points are required to undergo retraining and pass the test. Drivers who have accumulated 12 points on the subject one test must undergo 7 days of training before retaking the subject one test. The test content is the same as for new driving test candidates. After passing the subject one test, the penalty points will be cleared, and the driving license will be returned. Those who fail must retake the test. Precautions and regulations during the probationary period of a driving license: 1. Probationary drivers cannot drive alone on highways: During the probationary period, drivers are only prohibited from driving alone on highways; they can drive if accompanied by a driver with more than 3 years of driving experience in the passenger seat, otherwise they will be fined. 2. Fines for not displaying the 'probationary' sign on the vehicle during the probationary period: Probationary drivers must display a 'probationary' or 'new driver' sign on the rear of the vehicle; failure to do so will result in a fine of 200 yuan. Additionally, probationary drivers are strictly prohibited from driving commercial vehicles, ambulances, rescue vehicles, and other special vehicles. 3. Accumulating 12 points during the probationary period will result in license cancellation: There are no special penalties during the probationary period; all penalties are imposed according to the 'Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law.' Accumulating 12 or more penalty points during the probationary period will directly cancel the driving qualification for the permitted vehicle type. Once the license is canceled, the driver must reapply for learning, testing, and obtaining a new driving license.

The process for retaking the driving test after accumulating 12 penalty points on your license is roughly as follows: I experienced this last year when I was caught speeding multiple times due to careless driving. After receiving a notice from the traffic management bureau, I had to report to the local DMV to fill out some forms for identity verification. Then, I was scheduled for a 7-day traffic safety education course, spending several hours each day at a designated training center. The curriculum covered traffic regulations, accident case studies, and driving ethics—interesting but not easy. Upon completing the course, I had to take an exam focused on the knowledge from Subject 1, such as multiple-choice and true/false questions. Passing the exam allowed me to retrieve my license on the spot. The entire process, from reporting to getting the license back, took about two weeks. During this period, it’s best to avoid driving to prevent further penalties. I recommend always following the rules to avoid such hassles—safety first ensures you can drive for the long term.

As someone who frequently pays attention to traffic regulations, I am very clear about the re-examination process after accumulating 12 penalty points on my driver's license: First, wait for the traffic management department to issue a notice, then go to the designated vehicle management office to complete the registration procedures. Next, you must complete a mandatory 7-day traffic safety education program, attending classes at a professional institution that emphasizes safe driving and the application of regulations. After the education period ends, you will take a theoretical test covering the content of Subject 1, such as the meaning of traffic signals and accident handling. Upon passing the exam, your driver's license will be reinstated. I'd like to remind everyone not to drive during this period to avoid additional penalties. Developing good habits, such as regularly checking your penalty point record, can help prevent such troubles in daily life.

I've been driving for over twenty years and have seen many people exceed the 12-point limit. The solution is simple: upon receiving the notice, immediately report for the required study course. Spend a full week immersed in traffic regulations. Passing the exam will restore your normal driving privileges. Don't underestimate these steps—they reinforce safety awareness.
