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

Here are the steps to handle a driver's license deduction of 12 points: 1. Whether it's a one-time deduction of 12 points or an accumulated total of 12 points, the driver's license should be confiscated by the traffic police. 2. The driver must attend a seven-day study session on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge at the traffic management department of the public security authority in the place where the license was issued or where the violation occurred within 15 days. 3. After completing the study session, the vehicle management office should conduct a subject one exam within 20 days. If the exam is passed, the points will be cleared, and the driver's license will be returned. If the exam is failed, the driver must continue studying and retaking the exam.

That time when my driver's license got 12 demerit points really scared me. Shortly after I started driving, I was caught running a red light. When the points were cleared, I panicked. I quickly searched online and learned that I needed to register for a course at the local DMV, bringing my original ID and a copy of my driver's license. The course was a mandatory 7-day program, covering traffic rule explanations, accident case analysis, and simulated driving. I had to attend classes at fixed times each day, and the instructor explained everything in detail. Finally, there was a written test. Only after passing could I get my license back, and driving was strictly prohibited during this period. I passed successfully and got my license back. The whole process was stressful but made me more compliant with traffic rules. I advise friends in similar situations not to delay and to handle it immediately to avoid fines or revocation.

Experienced drivers will tell you, getting 12 points deducted for speeding isn't the end of the world—just handle it calmly. First, go to the DMV to register for the course, and remember to bring your ID, driver's license, and payment receipt. The training involves several consecutive days of in-person classes covering safe driving and regulations. After completing the course and passing the exam, your license will be reinstated. Avoid driving during this process, or the consequences could be worse. I've seen many new drivers panic, but it's actually straightforward—just attend on time. Once resolved, develop good habits like slowing down to avoid future point deductions.

When my friend had 12 points deducted from their driver's license, I helped calm them down as they were extremely anxious. I advised them to first register for the required courses at the vehicle management office, which offers training at fixed time slots. After completing the courses, they needed to pass an exam to regain their driving privileges. I accompanied them in preparing the materials and discussed the content to reduce stress. After passing, they became more cautious while driving. The point deduction incident served as a wake-up call, reinforcing the importance of safety awareness, which is beneficial in every way. As a friend, offering more encouragement and support helps them resolve issues quickly.
