What to Do When 12 Points Are Deducted in a Year?
2 Answers
The driver must attend a seven-day study session on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge at the issuing location of the motor vehicle driver's license within 15 days. The vehicle management office should conduct a road traffic safety law, regulation, and related knowledge examination for the motor vehicle driver within 20 days after they complete the study session. The demerit points will be cleared, and the motor vehicle driver's license will be returned. If the driver continues to participate in study and examinations, but refuses to attend the study session, the traffic management department of the public security authority will announce the suspension of their motor vehicle driver's license.
I can relate to the 12-point deduction issue, and it needs to be addressed promptly without delay. The first step is to proactively report to the local traffic police station—they’ll inform you about attending a seven-day traffic regulation course. The content may be dull, but you must pay close attention. On the exam day, remember to bring your ID and driver’s license. If you pass the written test (similar to the theory exam), your points will be restored; failing means a retake, which can be quite a hassle. Daily precautions like installing a dashcam or using navigation speed alerts can help avoid speeding tickets. Stay focused while driving, check mirrors frequently, and avoid reckless lane changes. Your insurance premiums might spike—a 20% increase isn’t uncommon. Long-term, this experience teaches better compliance: slowing down in rain, maintaining safe distances, and prioritizing safety for family and passengers. In short, don’t panic—act early to resolve it sooner.
