What to Do After All Driving License Points Are Deducted?
2 Answers
1. When handling relevant procedures, if a driver finds that all 12 points have been deducted, the driving license will be confiscated, and the traffic police department that deducted the points will issue an "Admission Notice." The driver must then take this notice to register at a designated school and attend the required training. 2. If the driver discovers through self-inquiry that all points have been deducted, they can voluntarily report with their driving license to register, which is equally valid. The training period lasts 5 days, with sessions held every morning. Additional Information: 1. If a driver accumulates 12 points twice within one scoring cycle, they must not only take the subject one test but also the subject three test, commonly known as the "road test." 2. Refusal to attend the training or take the tests will result in the suspension of the driver's license by the traffic management authorities. 3. If a driver accumulates 12 points more than twice or a total of 24 points or more within one scoring cycle, the vehicle management office must also conduct a road driving skills test within ten days after the driver passes the traffic laws and regulations test. The road driving skills test will be conducted according to the highest vehicle class specified on the driver's license.
I personally experienced having my driver's license fully deducted once due to speeding and running red lights. The first step is to stop driving immediately—if caught driving without a valid license, you'll face heavier penalties like fines or license revocation. Then, report to the local traffic authorities as soon as possible. They'll arrange for you to attend a traffic safety education course, which typically takes 7-10 days of lectures covering traffic rules and case studies to help you reflect on mistakes. After completing the course, you must pass both theoretical and practical driving tests, similar in difficulty to obtaining a license for the first time. Only after passing can you regain points and resume driving. During this period, be patient—use public transport or carpool with friends to avoid further violations. You'll also need to settle fines, usually costing several thousand yuan. The entire process takes about two months. It was tough for me, but I learned the importance of following rules. Afterward, drive more carefully—install a dashcam to prevent disputes and truly understand that safe driving saves money and brings peace of mind.
