What to Do When Accumulating 24 Points in a Scoring Cycle?
3 Answers
A scoring cycle reaching 24 points requires retaking Subject One and Subject Three of the driving test. Below are the relevant details: 1. Scoring Cycle: According to Article 65 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the cumulative scoring cycle for road traffic safety violations (i.e., the scoring cycle) is 12 months, with a full score of 12 points, calculated from the date the motor vehicle driving license is initially obtained. 2. Scoring Rules: If a motor vehicle driver's points in a scoring cycle do not reach 12 and all fines have been paid, the points will be cleared; if the points do not reach 12 but there are unpaid fines, the points will carry over to the next scoring cycle.
Last time I drove carelessly and committed too many violations, accumulating a full penalty within the scoring cycle—reaching 24 points was a complete nightmare. I had to immediately drop everything and rush to the local traffic police station to register for traffic safety education and testing. The whole process dragged on for seven days straight, with daily lectures on traffic rules that nearly drove me crazy. The exam was quite tough, and passing it on the first try was mandatory—otherwise, my driver's license would be at risk. Only afterward did I realize that such a high penalty affects insurance costs and could even disrupt work commutes. So, I advise everyone to drive responsibly and not be as reckless as I was, to avoid unnecessary trouble and wasted time resolving it. Once the points are reset, drive cautiously and avoid repeating mistakes—safety always comes first.
Speaking from years of driving experience, I've seen many novices getting heavily penalized, and accumulating 24 penalty points is simply unthinkable. Generally, it's advised not to guess blindly; instead, check the point details on the Traffic Management 12123 App. Once confirmed, contact the traffic management office to arrange for remedial courses. You must diligently attend these traffic regulation classes, which typically last about a week. Only after completing the courses and passing the test can your points be reset and you can drive again. During this period, your car should remain parked; otherwise, you'll face additional penalties. I've seen many people rush to drive again, only to have their licenses revoked, which is even more frustrating. The key is to learn the lesson—stop at red lights, avoid speeding, and installing a dashcam to record trips can also help prevent future issues. Going through this ordeal multiple times can leave anyone utterly exhausted.
