What to Do After Accumulating 12 Demerit Points on Your Driver's License?

[SiennaFitz]

Different types of driver's licenses have different handling methods after accumulating 12 demerit points: 1. Class A and B Driver's Licenses: Driver's licenses for permitted vehicle types are divided into several categories, with one demerit cycle lasting 12 months, meaning 12 points are allocated from the date of license issuance. If a Class A or B license accumulates 12 demerit points within one demerit cycle, the vehicle management office will revoke the highest permitted vehicle type driving qualification, directly downgrading the license. The driver must then apply for a license replacement. 2. Class C Driver's License: If a Class C license accumulates 12 demerit points within one demerit cycle, the license will be temporarily suspended. The driver must attend a 7-day road safety law, regulation, and related safety knowledge course at the vehicle management office and retake the subject one exam. Only after passing the exam can the driver resume driving. Driving during the suspension period is considered unlicensed driving. If a driver accumulates 12 points during the probationary period, their probationary permitted vehicle type driving qualification will be revoked, requiring retaking all subjects.
