What to Do When You Don't Have Enough Points for Running a Red Light?

[LeEverett]

If you don't have enough points for running a red light, you can only retake the theoretical learning and examination. After passing, you can regain your driver's license (and get back 12 points). According to the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China,' if a driver accumulates 12 points within a scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security authority will confiscate their motor vehicle driver's license. The driver must then participate in road traffic laws and regulations learning and take an examination as required. If the examination is passed, the points will be cleared, and the motor vehicle driver's license will be returned. Point deduction standards for running a red light: Article 2, Section 1, Clause 2 of the 'Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations' states that driving a motor vehicle in violation of traffic signal lights will result in a deduction of 6 points per violation. Article 3, Section 1, Clause 8 states that driving a motor vehicle in violation of prohibition signs or no-entry markings will result in a deduction of 3 points per violation.
