What to Do When Your Driver's License is Deducted 12 Points?

c1 license downgraded to c2, failed attempts will not be cleared. Changing from c1 to c2 only involves modifying the information, and there is no difference in the content and items of the exam, so the failed attempts will naturally be counted. If you still fail the exam within the remaining attempts after the conversion, the previous exam results will be invalidated. The exam subjects include four items: traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, road driving, and safe and civilized driving knowledge. Passing standards for the exam: Traffic regulations and related knowledge (Subject 1) - written test, full score is 100, 90 or above is passing. Field driving (Subject 2) - on-site, actual vehicle. The minimum requirement is 80 points, below 80 is failing. Road driving (Subject 3) - highway or simulated field, actual vehicle. Full score is 100, must achieve 90 or above to pass. Safe and civilized driving knowledge - written test, questions mainly in the form of cases, pictures, animations, etc., question types include true/false, single-choice, and multiple-choice, totaling 50 questions, full score is 100, 90 is passing.

I've been driving for twenty years, but last year I was penalized with a full 12-point deduction for speeding and had my license suspended. I immediately reported to the traffic police station, filled out forms, and enrolled in a traffic regulations training course. For seven full days, I attended daily lectures covering new regulations and safety knowledge, which helped me revisit driving rules. The exam was computer-based with a straightforward question bank, but required studying the materials—passing required a score of 90, which I achieved smoothly. Though the process disrupted my work, the benefits were significant. Now, I drive more cautiously, avoiding distractions like using my phone or driving under the influence. My advice: if you lose points, don’t delay—handle it promptly. The training is free, and a few days’ inconvenience is far better than losing your license. Going forward, I’ll regularly check the 12123 app to monitor my points and prevent exceeding limits.

As a new driver, I got all 12 points deducted within just a few months on the road, which freaked me out. I immediately scheduled an appointment with the traffic police to handle it, filled out the application form, and waited for the arranged study sessions. Seven consecutive mornings of classes covered accident cases and safety rules—pretty boring but mandatory. The exam prep with mock questions went smoothly, and I passed. The whole process was time-consuming, but skipping classes isn’t an option—getting caught leads to additional penalties. After getting my license back, I’ve been driving much more carefully. I’d recommend installing a dashcam to monitor violations. Deducted points might increase your insurance premiums, so resolve it early.

I was caught speeding while picking up my child, resulting in a 12-point deduction, which completely disrupted my daily routine. I queued up at the traffic police station to register and attended a safety class. The content covered child passenger rules, which was extremely useful for me. After passing the exam, I regained my qualification and reminded moms to drive slowly to prevent accidents. It's best to handle point deductions promptly to avoid further trouble.
