What to Do After a B License Receives 12 Demerit Points?
2 Answers
If a B license receives 12 demerit points at once, the driver must attend study sessions and take an exam, and also apply for a downgrade of the license. The driver must report to the traffic management department of the public security authority at the place where the license was issued or where the violation occurred within 15 days to undergo a seven-day study program on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. After completing the study, the vehicle management office must administer an exam on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge within 20 days. Below are additional situations where the vehicle management office may revoke the highest permitted driving class qualification: 1. Being involved in a traffic accident resulting in death and bearing equal or greater responsibility, without constituting a crime. 2. Accumulating 12 demerit points within one scoring cycle. 3. Failing to undergo the required inspection for three consecutive scoring cycles.
I remember last year I was caught speeding by the police, and my driver's license was deducted 12 points, which immediately suspended my driving privileges. It was quite a panic. First, I had to report to the traffic police station, where they confiscated my license and arranged for me to attend a 7-day traffic law education course. Each day involved several hours of lectures covering everything from speed limits to drunk driving. Before the course ended, I had to retake the theoretical exam (Subject 1). While reviewing, I used a driving test app to practice questions and thankfully passed on the first try. After getting my license back, I became extra cautious while driving. This experience taught me how crucial it is to follow the rules—no more taking chances, as it wastes time and disrupts work commutes. My advice is to address point deductions immediately; don’t procrastinate, or you might face higher insurance premiums or a worse record. Looking back now, paying closer attention to speed limits and traffic lights can prevent major headaches.
