What to do after an A2 driver's license accumulates 12 penalty points?

[MacBlakely]

If penalty points accumulate to 12 (or 12 points are deducted at one time), you need to study subject 1 at the vehicle management office for 7 days within 15 days. Then take the test, and the penalty points will be cleared if you pass the test. If you accumulate 12 penalty points or have 12 points deducted at one time, you must go to the vehicle management office to apply for a downgrade within 30 days.

If your A2 driver's license accumulates 12 penalty points, trouble is coming—I’ve been there. The traffic police will notify you and immediately suspend your license. At this point, you must promptly report to the local DMV or traffic police department. The process involves attending a 7-day traffic safety course, which is tedious but crucial, covering rules and accident case studies. I found it annoying but had to endure it. After completing the course, you’ll take the Theory Test (Subject 1), which consists entirely of multiple-choice questions on topics like traffic signals and speed limits. Pass the test, and your points are cleared, with your license returned. Fail, and you’ll need to continue studying and retake the test—delaying work and costing extra fees. Don’t procrastinate—I delayed a few days and got multiple reminders. Handle it promptly to resume driving; otherwise, getting caught on the road counts as unlicensed driving, which is even more serious. In short, remember: this process is a remedial lesson to prevent accidents. Drive carefully next time and avoid violations.

After your A2 driver's license points are fully deducted, the rules stipulate automatic license suspension, so you must handle it properly. First, contact the DMV to sign up for a seven-day training course, which in my experience includes lectures and discussions focused on improving safety awareness. Then, you'll need to retake the theoretical test (Subject 1), which has many diverse questions. I recommend reviewing traffic regulations thoroughly to increase your chances of passing on the first attempt—otherwise, you'll have to retrain and retest, wasting time. Upon passing, your driving privileges will be restored. The entire process costs a few hundred yuan, depending on the location; delaying will prolong your license suspension and affect your mobility. This mechanism exists to encourage compliance with traffic rules and enhance road safety, so proactive response is better than passive acceptance. After completing the process, reflect on your driving habits to avoid future point deductions.

Losing all 12 points puts your license at risk—immediately register with traffic authorities. After completing 7 days of mandatory training, take the exam (Subject 1). Pass to retrieve your license; fail and you'll retrain. The process is straightforward but don't take it lightly.

When your A2 driver's license points are fully deducted, it indicates multiple violations and a high safety risk; act quickly: enroll in a 7-day course focusing on traffic laws and case studies to enhance awareness. Passing the theoretical exam is mandatory. Failing means retaking the test, which is troublesome. The core goal is to prevent future accidents—your prompt action ensures safety for yourself and others.
