What to Do After 12 Demerit Points?
2 Answers
After receiving 12 demerit points, the driver must retake both the theoretical (Subject 1) and practical (Subject 3) driving tests. Only after passing both can the driver regain their license. The traffic police department will issue a fine payment voucher when confiscating the license, specifying the designated bank and machine for payment. Additionally, they will provide an administrative compulsory measure voucher, which serves as proof for mandatory retraining. A driver's license, formally known as a motor vehicle driving license, is a legal document required for operating motor vehicles. Driving demands specific skills—without them, unauthorized operation may lead to accidents. Generally, driving without a license is prohibited.
Last year, I got 12 points deducted from my license, and I was really stunned at the time. The first step was to go to the traffic police station to complete the formalities, bringing my ID card and driver's license. After registration, I was assigned to attend a training course. Those 7 days of learning were quite dull but useful—I revisited traffic rules and accident cases, and had to pass a final exam. If I failed the exam, I would have had to retake the course or even extend the training period. This process made me realize I needed to change my habit of reckless speeding and other violations, or else retaking the test would waste both time and effort. My advice is to be more cautious when driving, slow down a bit, and avoid taking chances to prevent getting points deducted again. Now, I drive more steadily, and my family says I’ve become much safer.
