What to Do If 12 Points Are Deducted from a Driver's License Within the First Year?

A driver's license that is less than one year old is considered to be in the probationary period. If a motor vehicle driver commits road traffic safety violations during this probationary period and accumulates 12 penalty points, the driving qualification for the probationary vehicle type will be revoked. Here are the main points to note during the probationary period: Special vehicles cannot be driven during the probationary period: During the probationary period, new drivers are not allowed to drive buses, commercial passenger vehicles, police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, engineering rescue vehicles, or vehicles carrying hazardous materials such as explosives, flammable and explosive chemicals, highly toxic substances, or radioactive materials. Additionally, the motor vehicle driven cannot tow a trailer. Cannot drive alone on highways during the probationary period: New drivers cannot drive alone on highways during the probationary period. They must be accompanied by a driver with at least three years of driving experience in the front passenger seat. The accompanying driver should provide guidance to the probationary driver. Failure to have a qualified accompanying driver or not meeting the requirements will result in a fine of 200 yuan. Must display a probationary sign: When driving during the probationary period, a standardized probationary sign issued by the traffic management department must be affixed or hung at the rear of the vehicle.

I’ve experienced having my driver’s license deducted 12 points before even completing the first year, and it was really frustrating. During the probation period, once all the points were deducted, my license was directly revoked. I had to first go to the traffic police station to accept the penalty, get the penalty slip, and then enroll in a driving school to retake the theoretical test for Subject One. The whole process took me about a week, and the exam fee was around a hundred yuan. Only after passing could I get a new license. New drivers tend to get nervous—I was caught speeding several times. Now, I’ve learned to use navigation to set speed limit reminders. My advice to other new drivers is to familiarize themselves with road rules before driving, maintain a calm speed, or else re-taking the test will disrupt work and life—it’s just not worth it.

I've been driving for thirty years and have seen many examples of novice drivers getting all their points deducted. If a driver's license less than one year old has all points deducted, it will be immediately revoked, and the driver must retake the exams. Remember the steps to handle this: first, go to the traffic police to settle all the tickets, then enroll in a driving school to review the theoretical knowledge, and pass the subject one test to get the license back. Common mistakes made by new drivers include illegal parking or speeding, which can result in at least six points deducted at once. I often advise my novice friends to drive slowly and not rush, and to practice more with mock test apps when they have time. Safe driving habits can save a lot of trouble. Retaking the exams costs money and time, so it's better to be cautious from the start.

I'm quite worried that my child had 12 points deducted during the probationary driving period. The driver's license was directly invalidated, and he had to retake the written test to resolve it. New drivers with less than a year of experience must learn a lesson: always pay attention to traffic lights and speed limit signs, as violations can result in heavy point deductions. It's recommended to handle the ticket immediately and review theoretical questions to reinforce memory. The test isn't difficult, but don't delay. Driving is a matter of life and death, and incidents like this remind us to follow the rules for safety.

I have personally experienced and helped friends deal with the situation of having 12 points deducted with a driver's license less than one year old. The specific approach is to promptly go to the traffic police station to handle the ticket and accept the revocation decision, then enroll in a driving school to prepare for the theoretical test (subject one). After passing, you can obtain a new license. The entire process takes about ten days with low costs but requires significant effort. New drivers are prone to point deductions due to lack of experience. It is recommended to install a car camera to record violation points and prevent recurrence. Developing a habit of checking traffic rules can avoid similar incidents and save time.

Losing all points on a probationary driver's license is a common issue for beginners. I've dealt with it before – the process requires retaking the written test (Subject 1). The steps are clear: first handle license cancellation at the traffic police, then review and pass the theoretical exam to regain your license. The key is analyzing the cause – typically beginners lose big points for speeding or parking violations. For prevention, I recommend using speed limit assist features while driving and maintaining lower speeds at night. If points are deducted, correct mistakes early – don't wait until reaching 12 points. Developing safe driving habits can prevent future troubles.
