What to Do If 12 Points Deducted from Driver's License Remain Unresolved for Two Years?
2 Answers
If 12 points deducted from the driver's license remain unresolved for two years, the license will be revoked. More information about driver's license point deductions is as follows: 1. A single traffic violation cannot be split for processing: This means if a vehicle is penalized with 12 points at once, only one driver's license can be used to handle all 12 points; two licenses cannot be used to split the penalty into 6 points each. 2. Overdue point deductions: If you use your driver's license to handle a violation but fail to pay the fine within the scoring cycle, the points will automatically carry over to the next scoring cycle. Therefore, remember to pay the fine when handling the violation. 3. Borrowing a license for point deductions: If someone else borrows your vehicle and commits a violation, you can use their driver's license to handle the penalty. However, the vehicle owner must accompany the borrower to the violation processing point with their ID card and driver's license. The owner must also bring their driver's license, ID card, and vehicle registration certificate.
I've been driving for over a decade and have seen friends in similar situations: if you accumulate 12 penalty points on your license and don't address it for two years, your driver's license is basically invalid. You should immediately contact your local DMV or traffic police station, bringing your ID card and old license to report. You might need to pay overdue fines and late fees, attend traffic safety classes, retake the written test (Subject One), or even restart the entire licensing process. The longer you delay, the harsher the penalties become—you could end up on a blacklist, face insurance claim denials or premium hikes, and increase your risk of accidents. Safe driving is crucial, and procrastinating not only wastes time and money but also damages your credibility. I've seen many cases—acting promptly makes the problem smaller, otherwise life becomes a mess. My advice: don't delay, take action now.
