What to Do When Driving License and Vehicle License Are Temporarily Confiscated by Traffic Police?

First, you need to go to the traffic management department of the public security authority to undergo a 7-day training session on road traffic safety laws and related knowledge, with 8 hours of instruction per day. After completing the 7-day training, you must retake the Subject 1 exam, which covers the same content as the test for new driver's license applicants. Upon passing the Subject 1 exam, your penalty points will be cleared, and your motor vehicle driving license will be returned. Drivers who fail the exam will need to retake the training and exam.
I got my license suspended last time for speeding, so I totally understand how you feel. This usually happens due to serious violations like drunk driving or excessive speeding. The police will issue a temporary seizure receipt, and you must handle it at the traffic police station within 15 days. Bring your ID card and that receipt—pay the fine if required and accept the points deduction. The worst part is if all your points are deducted, you’ll need to attend a seven-day course and retake the written test (Subject 1) to get your license back. Don’t delay, as failing to handle it on time might lead to license cancellation. When dealing with it, clarify the penalties—some fines may need to be paid at the bank. The whole process takes about 3-5 days. Take this as an expensive lesson and review your driving habits.
