What to Do If 12 Points Are Deducted from the Driver's License and Not Handled for More Than 15 Days?

[Jean]

In the case where 12 points are deducted from the driver's license and not handled for more than 15 days, it is first important to clarify that the license holder cannot drive temporarily. Secondly, they should promptly go to the traffic management department of the public security authority to participate in relevant knowledge learning. After passing the exam, the normal use of the driver's license can be restored. Here are the relevant details: 1. Temporary prohibition from driving: Once 12 points are deducted, driving is not allowed. Otherwise, it may be treated as driving without a license (regulations vary across regions; for example, in Zhejiang, it is not considered driving without a license but only incurs a fine). 2. Timely participation in learning and assessment at the traffic management department: If one does not attend the learning session or attends but does not take the exam, the license will be announced as suspended (equivalent to driving without a license). The license will be restored after passing the exam. If one still does not take the exam within the six-year or ten-year validity period of the driver's license, and it exceeds one year after the validity period (or one year after the inspection period for large and medium-sized driver's licenses), the license will be revoked. Within two years after revocation, one can still take the theoretical exam to restore the license. However, if it exceeds two years, the license will be permanently revoked.
