What to Do If All 12 Points Are Deducted During the Probationary Period?
2 Answers
Revocation of the driver's license. If all 12 points are deducted within the 12-month probationary period, the driver's license will be revoked, and the individual will need to re-enroll in a driving school to apply for a new driver's license. For detailed information, please refer to the following: "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses": (1) Article 79: If a motor vehicle driver commits road traffic safety violations during the probationary period, resulting in the deduction of all 12 points, the driving qualification for the probationary vehicle type will be revoked. If the revoked driving qualification is not for the highest permitted vehicle type, the driving qualification for the highest permitted vehicle type shall be revoked in accordance with the first paragraph of Article 78. (2) Drivers holding licenses for large buses, tractors, urban buses, medium-sized buses, or large trucks who accumulate 6 or more points but fewer than 12 points during the one-year probationary period will have their probationary period extended by one year. If they again accumulate 6 or more points but fewer than 12 points during the extended probationary period, their driving qualification for the probationary vehicle type will be revoked. (3) Article 80: If a motor vehicle driver's contact information, address, or other details change, or if there are changes in the employment information of drivers holding licenses for large buses, tractors, urban buses, medium-sized buses, or large trucks, they must report these changes to the vehicle management office at the place where the driver's license was issued within 30 days of the change.
I've got a buddy who drove recklessly during his probationary period, racking up a whopping 12 demerit points in no time. As a result, his license got revoked immediately, forcing him to re-enroll in driving school for traffic regulation classes and retake the written test before getting it back. This is something to take seriously because probationary requirements are particularly strict – new drivers are prone to accidents. He was frantic back then, but eventually swallowed his pride and signed up for the course, spending two months to sort it out. Since that incident, I've doubled down on cautious driving and always remind newbies to track their violations regularly. When points approach 12, they should pause driving to avoid disrupting their mobility. Safe driving isn't just personal – it affects the entire family's vehicle usage plans too.
