What to Do When All Driving License Points Are Deducted?

[RyleeLee]

If all the points on a driving license are deducted, the vehicle owner must attend a training course and pass an exam to retrieve the license. Failure to attend the training within the specified time will result in the revocation of the driving license. Vehicle owners should always adhere to traffic rules while driving, as only 11 points can be deducted within a 12-month period for a single license. The training duration is 5 days, with sessions held every morning. The curriculum includes topics such as traffic violation points and penalties, driver psychology and traffic safety, and road traffic safety laws and regulations. After completing the training, the vehicle management office will administer an exam on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge within 20 days. If the exam is passed, the points will be cleared, and the driving license will be returned. If failed, the individual must continue attending training and retake the exam.

I've encountered this situation before, and my friends have made the same mistake. It's really quite troublesome. After your driver's license has been deducted 12 points, the traffic police will confiscate it on the spot. Within seven days, you must take the penalty decision notice to the DMV to register for the full-score education course, which lasts seven days and requires daily attendance. The course mainly covers traffic regulations and accident case videos, and you'll need to take the subject one test at the end. If you pass, the DMV will temporarily return your license; if you fail, you'll have to continue studying. During this period, you absolutely must not drive—if caught, it's considered driving without a license. It's advisable to take the bus or a taxi during this time, no matter how urgent it is, just hold back.

My cousin went through the same thing last year, his driver's license was directly reset to zero. The handling process is divided into four steps: first, go to the traffic police brigade to get the penalty notice, then apply for study at the vehicle management office. The study period consists of five days of on-site classes and two days of online classes, all of which must be completed. The test is a random selection of 100 questions from the subject one question bank, and a score of 90 is required to pass. If you pass the exam, the vehicle management office will give you a study certificate and return your driver's license. Note that during this transition period, do not drive, or you may be detained if caught. I recommend using the 12123 APP for a mock test in advance, as the question bank is basically the same as the real exam.

Losing all 12 points means your driver's license will be suspended. First, bring your ID card to the DMV to attend a seven-day traffic regulation training course, with the schedule varying by local policies. Prepare thoroughly for the written test (subject one), as about 100 questions will be randomly selected from a pool of approximately 2,000. You can retrieve your license on the same day after passing. If you drive commercial vehicles regularly, pay special attention as this may affect your professional qualifications. The entire process takes at least two weeks, so it's advisable to take time off to focus on handling it. Remember, losing all points during the probation period will result in direct revocation of your license, which is even more severe.

The core of handling a fully deducted license is re-education. Within five days, you must apply for full-score education at the vehicle management office. On-site classes require five full days of attendance, covering traffic regulations, accident case studies, and driving psychology. After passing the exam, your points will be cleared, but you still need to complete the formalities at the service window. It's advisable to organize all traffic violation tickets in advance to avoid multiple trips. Some friends might suggest secretly driving a few times during the study period, but this must never be attempted. Mobile inspection devices on the road can identify unlicensed driving, and the consequences are too severe.
