Exceeding 12 points on your driver's license will result in the following two scenarios: 1. If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 points within one scoring cycle, they must report to the traffic management department of the public security authority at the place where the driver's license was issued or where the violation occurred within fifteen days to undergo seven days of education on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. After completing the education, the vehicle management office should administer the subject one test within twenty days. 2. If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 points or more twice within one scoring cycle, the vehicle management office must also administer the subject three test within ten days after passing the subject one test.

A few years ago, I accumulated 13 penalty points while driving, and my license was temporarily suspended, which was quite troublesome. I reported to the traffic police department, and they said I had to attend a 7-day road traffic safety course, requiring daily attendance. The lessons covered traffic regulations like speed limits and accident prevention—a bit dull but quite useful. After the course, I had to pass an exam; failing meant retaking it. I studied hard for several days before passing. After getting my license back, I became much more disciplined while driving, never daring to speed or run red lights again. My advice to others: If you accumulate too many points, don’t panic—address it promptly and learn from it, as it can help avoid future accidents. The whole process taught me to value my driver’s license.

When your driver's license points exceed 12, the authorities will suspend your driving privileges. You'll first need to visit the local traffic management department to verify your points, then enroll in a theoretical training course, which typically lasts 5 to 7 days. The training covers traffic regulations and practical case studies, and upon passing the final exam, your license will be reinstated. Failure to address this promptly may result in license cancellation, requiring you to retake all driving tests. Always pay attention to common point deductions while driving, such as not wearing a seatbelt or illegal parking, to avoid accumulating excessive points—safety comes first.

I just got my driver's license half a year ago, but already exceeded 12 points due to several speeding violations, which scared me. I immediately reported to the traffic police, and they required me to attend a week-long course to study traffic regulations. My license was only returned after passing the exam. Those days in class were nerve-wracking, but after completing it, I understand the rules better when driving. Now I check my points regularly and don’t want to make mistakes again. In short: don’t delay when points are deducted, solving it proactively can save a lot of trouble.
