What to Do When Only 1 Point Remains on Your Driver's License?
3 Answers
Although you can still drive a motor vehicle with only 1 point left on your driver's license, you must avoid any further traffic violations. Clear all outstanding traffic fines, and your points will reset to 12 at the start of the next scoring cycle. Below is relevant information about driver's licenses: 1. Introduction to Driver's Licenses: A driver's license, officially known as a motor vehicle driving license or simply "driver's license," is a legally required document for individuals operating motor vehicles. 2. Classification of Driver's Licenses: The current driver's license system includes 16 categories: A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, D, E, F, M, N, and P licenses.
I've been driving for twenty years and have encountered the situation where only 1 point remains on my driver's license several times. The key is to hold out until the end of the scoring cycle, which is probably another month or two. During this period, I have to drive especially carefully. I even readjusted the position of my phone navigation mount to avoid being caught distracted. Speed control is particularly important. During rush hour, I'd rather leave half an hour early than exceed the speed limit by even five kilometers. Last year, a friend of mine continued to drive for ride-hailing with only 1 point left and ended up being penalized for crossing a solid line at an intersection, which led to him having to retake the driving test at the DMV. Remember to keep reflective vests and warning triangles in the car in case of a minor collision, ensuring more standardized on-site handling. It's also good to regularly check the distribution map of traffic cameras to avoid roads with dense surveillance.
My driving license had only 1 point left last month, which kept me awake all night. I immediately checked all my traffic violation records and indeed found an unprocessed speeding ticket. Now when driving, I even signal for two seconds longer than usual before changing lanes. I've set up three reminders on my phone: navigation automatically avoids routes prone to violations, countdown to the point reset date, and weekly checks of vehicle lights. If you live close to your workplace, it's advisable to commute by bicycle during this period—it's both economical and safe. After your points are reset, I recommend participating in the 'Study Law to Reduce Points' activity on the 12123 APP. Answering ten questions correctly can earn you 1 point back—my colleague just regained three points this month.
