What to do if 12 points are deducted from a driver's license within the first year?

If 12 points are deducted from a driver's license within the first year, the system will automatically revoke the license. This revocation requires re-learning to obtain a new driver's license. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. If the vehicle has a 12-point violation: You need to wait until the probationary period is over before handling it, because when processing the violation, it will be checked whether the driver was in the probationary period on the day of the violation. If so, your driver's license will still be revoked. If your vehicle accumulates 12 points during your probationary period, you must not use your own license to handle it. 2. If the vehicle is deducted 12 points: If your driver's license is in the probationary period, the best solution is to have someone else take the points.
I remember a colleague who had just gotten his driver's license for only half a year before getting into trouble and accumulating 12 penalty points. According to traffic regulations, accumulating 12 points during the probation period results in the direct revocation of the driver's license, with no possibility of reinstatement, so his license was gone. The process was particularly troublesome: he had to first go to the traffic management department to complete the revocation procedures, then re-enroll in the driving test, starting from the theory test all the way to the road test, costing both time and money and delaying work. I suggest that new drivers pay more attention to the reminders from navigation apps, be cautious in speed limit zones and at traffic lights, and avoid speeding or illegal lane changes, otherwise, it's like starting all over again. Safe driving is a long-term strategy; once good habits are formed, there's nothing to fear.
As someone who has dealt with many similar cases, I must seriously warn everyone: Losing 12 points with less than one year of driving experience is absolutely unacceptable! Regulations mandate immediate license revocation. You must personally visit the DMV to complete the revocation process and then re-enroll in driving school. The entire procedure is time-consuming and costly—for instance, the theory exam costs over 200 yuan, and additional practice hours incur extra fees. Most importantly, there's no room for compromise on road safety. Avoid attempting overtakes or entering restricted zones during the novice phase. Regularly use your phone to set speed limit reminders to prevent mistakes. Learn from this lesson thoroughly and strive to pass on your next attempt.
