If all 12 points on your driver's license are deducted within a year or at once, the driver involved must go to the traffic police station within 15 days to handle the matter. Here is some relevant information about driver's license point deductions: 1. Key Points: Within 15 days after the 12-point deduction, you need to obtain an 'Admission Notice' from the traffic police and then attend a 5-day 'Road Traffic Safety Laws, Regulations, and Related Knowledge' course at the traffic management department. 2. A/B Licenses: If you hold an A or B license, it will be downgraded, and you must complete the license replacement within the specified time. In any case, it is undesirable to reach the 12-point limit in a scoring cycle, so adhering to traffic rules is still very important.
I just went through the ordeal of having my driver's license deducted 12 points, and it was really troublesome. Once the points are fully deducted, the traffic police directly confiscate the license, and you're required to attend a mandatory 7-day training course. The learning must be done in person at the vehicle management office with facial recognition check-in; it can't be completed online. After the course, you have to take the Subject 1 exam, which also must be done on-site using dedicated computers, and the questions are significantly harder than during the driving test. Only after passing the exam and receiving the score report can you retrieve your license, a process that took me over half a month. A reminder: never hire scalpers to fake your training hours—if caught, you'll have to start over. Oh, and after getting your license back, remember not to accumulate any more points within a year, or it will be revoked directly!
Just helped my cousin deal with the 12-point deduction issue last week. To put it simply, there are three steps: first, report to the DMV, then attend seven consecutive days of traffic safety classes, and finally take the theoretical exam. Here's the key point: attendance must be in person with fingerprint check-ins at the venue—there's no online option for this! The exam must also be taken on-site at the DMV. The entire process takes at least ten days, and we had to take time off to get it done. Now, after completing it, there's a probation period. My cousin's car has a yellow warning sticker, and if he gets any more points within a year, he'll have to retake the exam.
A friend of mine at the vehicle management office said the process for handling 12-point violations is actually quite standardized. First, you'll receive a notification text and must report to the designated location within 15 days. Then there's a seven-day study period divided into two parts: five days of watching warning videos and two days of in-person classes, which require daily facial verification. The test still uses the same question bank as the subject one exam, but the passing score is raised to 90. The key point is their system monitors the entire process via network, and hiring someone to take the test for you will land you on a blacklist. If you miss any sessions, you'll have to redo the required study hours, which is particularly troublesome.
