What to Do If Your Driver's License is Deducted More Than 12 Points at Once?

After a driver accumulates 12 or more penalty points, their driver's license will be confiscated, and the traffic police department that deducted the points will issue an "Admission Notice." The following are the specific steps to retrieve your driver's license after accumulating 12 points: 1. The driver must bring the "Admission Notice" to the designated school to register and attend classes. If the driver discovers through inquiry that their points have been fully deducted, they can also bring their driver's license to register, which is equally valid. 2. The learning period lasts 5 days. The curriculum includes topics such as road violation scoring and penalties, driver psychological quality and traffic safety, and road traffic safety laws and regulations. After completing all the courses, the school will issue a "Training Completion Certificate." Obtaining the "Training Completion Certificate" does not mean regaining the driver's license. Only after passing the exam can the license be retrieved. 3. After the motor vehicle driver completes the training, the vehicle management department must conduct a road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test within 20 days. If the test is passed, the penalty points will be cleared, and the driver's license will be returned.
I recently looked into the issue of driver's license point deductions, and it's quite troublesome if you exceed 12 points at once. First, your driver's license will be temporarily suspended by the traffic authorities. After receiving the notice, you must promptly report to a designated location to attend a 7-day traffic safety course, where you'll study traffic regulations and driving responsibilities. After completing the course, you'll need to pass the theoretical exam (Subject 1) to get your license back. This process takes at least one or two weeks, affecting daily commutes and work. If you don't take the exam or fail it, your license may be revoked entirely, requiring you to retake the driving test from scratch. That's why I often remind my friends to always obey speed limits, avoid drunk driving, and regularly check for traffic violations using mobile apps to prevent minor mistakes from escalating into major problems. Safety is truly the most worry-free approach.
