What to Do If 12 Points Are Deducted at Once for an A2 License?

[DelVera]

Holders of A1, A2, A3, B1, or B2 driver's licenses must undergo an inspection at the traffic management department within thirty days after the end of each scoring cycle. If involved in a traffic accident resulting in death with equal or greater responsibility and the driver's license has not been revoked, an inspection must be completed within thirty days. Before applying, verify that the applicant does not have a record of 12 points deducted, overdue inspection, temporary suspension, cancellation, revocation, or annulment of the driver's license. For license renewal upon expiration, ensure there are no pending traffic violations or unresolved traffic accidents. First, check if the applicant has any unresolved traffic violations and inform them to address these before proceeding with the application.

As an office worker, getting 12 penalty points on your driver's license is really tough. Last month, my friend received a 12-point ticket for speeding 50% over the limit, and I accompanied them through the entire process: paying the fine and submitting the penalty proof within 7 days; attending 5 days of traffic regulation classes; retaking the theory test (remember to study the updated question bank); and finally retrieving the license from the DMV after passing the exam. Here's the key point: getting 12 points during the probation period will result in immediate license revocation! Even outside the probation period, accumulating 12 points means you can't drive for six months. It's advisable to stop driving immediately and arrange for rides from family or friends—never risk driving without a license, as getting caught again could lead to detention. After handling everything, remember to renew your car insurance, as premiums are certain to increase by at least 30%.

Veteran drivers reveal that losing all 12 points at once involves three steps: paying fines, attending classes, and retesting. Forget about finding someone to 'erase' points—cameras now capture the driver's face. Bring your ID and ticket to the designated location for a 7-day safety course (with 3-hour daily facial recognition check-ins), then schedule your theory test. Driving school instructors privately warn that the exam now includes defensive driving questions, causing many to fail. If you don't retest within 15 days of receiving your study certificate, it expires and your license gets automatically revoked! During processing, your car insurance will be affected—best park in paid lots to avoid accident risks. This violation stays on record for 5 years, impacting future license renewals.

I've been through this kind of hassle. After receiving the ticket, immediately check the penalty decision number, and you can view the violation video screenshot on the Traffic Management 12123 app. Bring the paper ticket to have your license deducted, and you must sign in person to confirm. Remember to get the receipt after paying the fine! Key point: The demerit point cycle starts on the day of deduction. For example, if you get 12 points deducted on July 5th, they won’t reset until July 5th of the following year. For the training course, bring your ID card and a copy of your driver’s license. If you miss a class, you’ll have to make it up. After passing the exam, get the "Full Score Study and Exam Qualification Certificate" to retrieve your license. The worst part is serious offenses like drunk driving—if caught driving during the license suspension period, your license will be revoked for two years, and you’ll have to retake all the exams!

Parental Perspective Reminder: If your child has had their driver's license for less than a year, never let them accumulate 12 penalty points! From personal experience, my son ran a red light during his probationary period and lost all his points, resulting in the direct revocation of his license. Reapplying for the driver's license cost over 5,000 yuan, and it was even more heartbreaking to see the 300 hours of practice go to waste. For regular drivers who accumulate 12 points, remember to do these three things: First, go to the bank to pay the fine (keep the receipt), then schedule a seven-day safety education course (bring a 2-inch white-background photo), and after passing the exam, go to the DMV window to complete the point-clearing procedure. During the processing period, you can suspend vehicle insurance to save money, but remember to reinstate it before resuming driving.

Practical Handling Guide: Check the violation images on 12123 immediately. Bring your ID card to the traffic police station to get the penalty notice, then pay the fine at the designated bank. Study sessions can be done locally or in another location (requires applying for a study transfer), with on-site check-ins of 4 hours daily. The subject one test site is often in suburban county examination centers, arrive 2 hours early to queue. Special note: A/B driver's licenses with 12 points deducted will be downgraded! No such risk for C licenses. The entire process takes about 25 days, for urgent car needs, consider renting shared cars with a daily cost of around 100 yuan. After retrieving your license, drive cautiously for the first three months; another 6 points deducted will result in temporary license suspension and retraining, which is particularly troublesome. Keep a positive mindset, safe driving is the most important.
