What to Do When All Driving License Points Are Deducted?
2 Answers
Handling methods when all driving license points are deducted: If a driving license accumulates 12 penalty points within a single scoring cycle, the holder must attend a seven-day educational course and retake the subject one test. The driving license will only be returned upon passing the test. For those who accumulate 24 penalty points, in addition to the subject one test, they must also pass the subject three test. For holders of Class A or B driving licenses, accumulating 12 penalty points in a scoring cycle will not only require attending the educational course and retaking the subject one test but also result in a downgrade of the driving license. If the driving license is still within the probationary period, it will be revoked. To drive again, the individual must reapply for a driving license, starting from scratch like a new learner, and pass all the required tests for the corresponding vehicle type before the vehicle management office will issue the license.
I just encountered a situation where my points were completely deducted due to consecutive violations including speeding and running red lights, totaling 12 points. The procedure was to first report to the local traffic police station, where they temporarily confiscated my driver's license and required me to enroll in a seven-day traffic safety education course. The course covered everything from traffic laws to driving basics. I had to check in every morning for lectures and watched real accident videos to reinforce my memory. After completing the course, I took the subject one exam. I reviewed the question bank in advance and passed with a score of 90. After passing, I got my license back with the points reset to zero, starting fresh. This experience was quite troublesome and disrupted my work, so I now drive more carefully, especially avoiding drunk driving or reckless lane changes on highways. I recommend that new drivers take more practice tests before hitting the road to avoid similar pitfalls.
