What to Do When Your Driver's License is Deducted 12 Points or More?
2 Answers
If your driver's license is deducted 12 points, you must participate in traffic laws and regulations training organized by the traffic management department within 15 days after the license is temporarily suspended. Below is relevant information: 1. According to Article 68, Paragraph 2 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses,' the motor vehicle driver must, within 15 days, attend a seven-day training on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge at the traffic management department of the public security authority where the driver's license was issued or where the violation occurred. 2. The training period is 7 days, with sessions held every morning. The curriculum includes topics such as traffic violation scoring and penalties, driver psychological quality and traffic safety, and road traffic safety laws and regulations. Upon completion of all courses, the training institution will issue a 'Training Completion Certificate.' Obtaining the 'Training Completion Certificate' does not equate to regaining your driver's license.
Losing over 12 points on your driver's license is really troublesome. My neighbor encountered this situation last month, here's the detailed process: Within 15 days of receiving the notice, you must report to the traffic police station to attend a 7-day traffic rules course, with daily attendance required or it won't count. After completing the course, you'll take the theoretical test (Subject 1). If your points are between 12-23, passing the test allows you to retrieve your license. If you unfortunately lose over 24 points, after passing Subject 1, you'll also need to take the road test (Subject 3), almost like getting a new license. Driving is prohibited throughout this process - my neighbor spent over 2,000 yuan on ride-hailing for commuting. It's advisable to practice questions on driving test apps beforehand, as the question banks highly overlap with exam content. If postponed to the next year, uncleared points will carry over to the new scoring cycle, potentially leading to direct license revocation.
