What to Do If Your Driver's License is Deducted 12 Points and You Need to Retake the Written Test?

To retrieve your driver's license as soon as possible, the driver must attend a seven-day knowledge training session at the issuing authority of the motor vehicle driver's license within 15 days. After completing the training, the vehicle management office should schedule the written test within 20 days. If the test is passed, the points will be cleared, and the driver's license will be returned. Bring your ID card and arrive at the waiting room one hour before the scheduled time and session to obtain the test number through fingerprint verification.
When my driver's license got 12 points deducted, I was totally panicked. Chatting with friends in our group, they all said I'd have to retake the written test. That day I rushed straight to the traffic police station to queue up, and they assigned me to a 7-day traffic safety course—two hours daily of lectures and videos. Our class had a group chat where we helped each other practice test questions. I used an app called 'Driver's License Exam Prep' and drilled late into the night, focusing on tricky areas like turn signals. Pre-exam nerves hit, but the test wasn't as hard as I feared—passed on the first try. Now when driving, I even keep the music volume low to avoid distractions. This experience taught me a lesson: rules aren't decorations—you've got to genuinely learn and remember them. Next time I won't risk running a yellow light—it's just not worth the hassle and expense.
