What to Do When Your Driver's License Reaches 12 Demerit Points?
1 Answers
If the driver's license is Class C, accumulating 12 demerit points at once requires retaking the subject one exam. After passing the exam, the driver's license can be reinstated. For Class A or B licenses, the penalties are more severe, involving not only retaking the exam but also a downgrade in license class. Below are specific details about driver's licenses: 1. Classification: According to the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Business Work Standards" officially issued by the Ministry of Public Security, a graded system for motor vehicle driver's licenses has been introduced, dividing licenses into 15 classes: A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, D, E, F, M, N, and P. 2. Renewal Rules: If a motor vehicle driver does not accumulate 12 demerit points in any scoring cycle during the six-year validity period of the driver's license, they can renew it for a ten-year validity period. If they continue to avoid accumulating 12 demerit points in any scoring cycle during the ten-year validity period, they can renew it for a long-term valid driver's license.
