What to Do If Demerit Points Before Clearance Are Not Handled?

[McRhett]

If traffic violations are not handled before the driver's license point clearance, the demerit points can only be carried over to the next scoring cycle and combined with the points from that cycle. Below is a detailed introduction to handling driver's license demerit points: 1. Prepare Materials: (1) If only caught by electronic surveillance, just bring the vehicle registration certificate. (2) For speeding violations, prepare the vehicle registration certificate, driver's license, and a copy of each. (3) For parking tickets, bring the penalty decision notice and the vehicle registration certificate. 2. Visit the Vehicle Management Office: After preparing the materials, go to the Vehicle Management Office to verify the violation, review the photos, and fill out a confirmation form. 3. Pay the Fine: Take the confirmation form to the designated bank specified by the Vehicle Management Office to pay the fine. Any branch of the designated bank will do, and it can usually be processed at an ATM. 4. For violations occurring in another location, generally, they must be handled at the local traffic police station or Vehicle Management Office where the violation occurred: (1) Handle it yourself, though this method is more troublesome. (2) Ask a friend to handle it, but you will need to mail your documents to them.

I just dealt with a similar situation. Before my driver's license points clearing date approached, I realized there were still some demerit points left unprocessed, so I rushed to the traffic police station. The staff informed me that unprocessed demerit points would automatically roll over to the next scoring cycle, occupying your 12-point allowance, and the fines would also incur late fees. That day, I waited in line for two hours, first printed out all the violation tickets, then scanned and paid the fines one by one at the self-service machines. The staff also reminded me that next time, it's best to start processing 45 days before the scoring cycle ends, so that if there are violations with many demerit points, there's still time to attend full-point learning courses.

This situation is really troublesome. I learned my lesson last month. Unresolved penalty points will automatically carry over to the new scoring cycle, meaning you start the new period with existing demerits. Later, I quickly checked my violation records on the 12123 APP and found two speeding tickets still unprocessed, so I immediately paid the fines online. I recommend you check your specific violation records right away. If the accumulated points exceed 9, it's best to handle it at the service counter where you can also inquire about possible penalty reduction policies. Remember to keep all payment receipts in case of system update delays.

I have experience with this issue. Unresolved demerit points before the driver's license scoring cycle reset won't disappear but will carry over to the new cycle. Last time, I discovered an unpaid parking ticket just three days before my annual inspection, which directly caused the inspection to fail. I immediately paid the fine at the bank, but the scoring system takes 48 hours to update. I had to temporarily use an interim inspection certificate to drive, waiting for the new cycle to begin before reapplying for the annual inspection. The lesson is to handle traffic violations at least one week in advance to allow sufficient time for system updates. Now I check my 12123 records monthly.
