Which date determines the reset of demerit points on a driver's license?
1 Answers
The reset time for demerit points on a driver's license is based on the issuance date indicated on the license. Scoring cycle and point clearance method: The cumulative scoring cycle for road traffic safety violations is 12 months, with a maximum of 12 points. The cycle starts from the date the motor vehicle driver's license is initially issued and repeats continuously in this manner. If the demerit points accumulated within one scoring cycle do not reach 12 points, the scoring system will automatically reset the points from the previous cycle at the start of the next scoring cycle. Methods for handling demerit points: Drivers who accumulate 12 points must attend a study session and take an exam at the vehicle management office where the license was issued or at the vehicle management office where the violation occurred. Only after passing the subject one exam can the points be reset. Otherwise, the driver's license cannot be used normally. If the points do not reach 12 within one scoring cycle, driving is not affected, but the corresponding fine must be paid. After the fine is paid, the system will automatically reset the points at the start of the next scoring cycle.
