What to Do When Your Driver's License Points Are Insufficient?
2 Answers
You must immediately pay all the fines for the accumulated points. The traffic police will temporarily suspend your driver's license, and you will need to attend a seven-day training course and take the subject one exam. After passing the exam, you can retrieve your driver's license. Specific details are as follows: 1. Driver's License Category: If it is an A or B class driver's license, you will also need to complete a downgrade procedure. After completing the downgrade, you must drive vehicles according to the permitted vehicle types specified by the new license. 2. At the End of the Current Scoring Cycle: As long as there are no new points accumulated, by the end of the current scoring cycle, your driver's license will be restored to the full 12 points.
I was just talking about this with some friends the other day, and I had a similar experience last year. Not having enough points on your driver's license can be quite a hassle, but don’t even think about buying points through shady channels—getting caught could mean your license gets revoked. Nowadays, I drive extra carefully. On unfamiliar roads, I check the speed limit on my navigation in advance and turn on the electronic dog alert on my phone. If you do get points deducted, don’t delay handling it. Try to use the official point-reduction methods before the cycle ends, like attending traffic safety classes or public service activities at the traffic police station to earn some points back. If you really need to borrow points, it can only be from immediate family members, and you’ll have to go to the counter in person with your ID.
