Where to Retake Subject One After 12-Point Deduction?
3 Answers
After receiving a 12-point deduction, you must undergo training at the traffic management department of the public security authority in either the license issuance location or the location where the violation occurred. The examination will be conducted by the vehicle management office. Regulations on Driver's License: Article 58 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" states: If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 points within a scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security authority shall confiscate their motor vehicle driver's license. After Completing Training: After the motor vehicle driver completes the training, the vehicle management office shall conduct an examination on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge within 20 days. If the examination is passed, the points will be cleared, and the motor vehicle driver's license will be returned. If the examination is not passed, the driver must continue training and retake the examination. Refusal to participate in training or take the examination will result in the traffic management department of the public security authority announcing the suspension of the motor vehicle driver's license.
Last year, my friend had his driver's license deducted the full 12 points. He had to retake the subject one exam at the local vehicle management office, which is the traffic management service hall in our area. The specific steps were: first, bring his ID card and driver's license to register, then complete seven days of theoretical study as required. After completing the study, he could take the exam. The retake must be done at the location where the license was originally issued. For example, if your license was issued in Beijing, you must take the exam at the Beijing vehicle management office—cross-regional retakes are not allowed. Although I find this process troublesome, it helps reinforce traffic rules knowledge. If points are deducted, it's best to handle it early and not delay, to avoid affecting daily driving. I recommend checking the service hours of the vehicle management office online in advance for easier scheduling, which can also save money and hassle. Actually, retaking the exam is for safety—don’t make the same mistakes again.
When my driver's license was deducted 12 points last year, I registered for the retake of Subject 1 at our city's motor vehicle driver service center, which is the location designated by the traffic management department. After registration, I had to attend a one-week course before I could take the test at the vehicle management office. The test site is the vehicle management office where the license was issued. For example, if you got your license in Hangzhou, you would take the test at the designated location in Hangzhou. I was nervous at first, but after studying the materials carefully, I found it not difficult and even memorized the new regulations. I remind everyone to check the local transportation bureau website promptly after receiving points deduction. Don't wait too long; passing the test early means you can get back on the road sooner. Safety first, don't be careless.
