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.
