What to Do When a C1 Driver's License Loses All 12 Points?
3 Answers
After a C1 driver's license loses all 12 points, the driver must undergo road traffic safety regulations training and pass the subject one exam. Below are relevant details about point deductions: 1. License plate issues: Obstructing, soiling, or damaging a license plate violates motor vehicle license plate installation regulations. Using a fake license plate or driving without one will result in a 12-point deduction and a fine. 2. Drunk driving: The license will be temporarily suspended for six months, with a fine ranging from 1,000 to 2,000 yuan. 3. Overloading: If the number of passengers exceeds 20% of the vehicle's capacity, being caught by traffic police will lead to a 12-point deduction.
If your C1 driver's license has all 12 points deducted, as a seasoned driver with ten years of experience, I know this can be quite frustrating. The first step is to stop driving immediately because no points mean no valid license, and continuing to drive could result in fines or even detention. Then, promptly report to the local vehicle management office, where they will require you to attend a 7-day safety and traffic laws training course, with several hours of classes each day. After completing the course, you’ll need to take an exam, similar to the subject one test, and passing it is necessary to regain your license. This process might take one or two weeks, so stay patient but diligent. I suggest reflecting on why you lost the points—whether it was speeding or running red lights—and consider installing a navigation system to remind yourself not to violate rules again. Remember, safety comes first when driving. Points can be regained, but accidents can be devastating. Always pay attention to traffic rules and avoid complacency.
I've been in this situation before, and it was really nerve-wracking. On the day my points were reset, I immediately contacted the traffic police department. They required me to attend seven days of traffic safety education classes, sitting through dull but necessary lectures every day. I crammed for a few days before the test, and everything went back to normal as soon as I passed. This experience taught me to drive steadily and not to rush for time. Now I always remind my friends not to delay if their points are used up—handle it promptly to avoid affecting life and work. If you forget to report, you might have to retake the course or face fines, which is such a hassle. I recommend checking your points monthly and installing an app to monitor traffic violations to reduce risks. Driving is a responsibility, and following the rules is the golden principle.
