Which date determines the reset of demerit points on a driver's license?

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.

I remember researching this issue when I was driving. The deduction reset is actually based on the initial issuance date of the driver's license. For example, if my license was issued on May 10th, then every May 10th is the day when the points are reset. The scoring cycle is a full 12 months, and any points deducted during this period will automatically reset to 12 points on the end date. This design is quite reasonable, avoiding arbitrary fines. If you're unsure about your license issuance date, just check the little booklet of your driver's license—it's printed clearly there. After each reset, the points are fully restored, making it convenient to continue driving safely.

The date for resetting the points on your driver's license is calculated based on the initial issuance date, not randomly on New Year's Day. Each cycle is exactly 12 months, starting from the day you obtained your license, and the points are automatically reset when the end date arrives. This rule is quite easy to remember. For example, as someone who drives frequently, I set a reminder for the reset date. Just check the original driver's license to confirm—don't mistakenly assume it resets at the end of the year, as getting points deducted by mistake would be troublesome. If you accumulate too many points, you’ll have to attend remedial classes and retake the test, which is totally not worth it.

Points reset solely based on your driver's license issuance date. For example, mine shows March 1st, so my points replenish annually on that date. When the 12-month cycle ends, all points deducted the previous day vanish completely. Just check your license to confirm the date—don't believe rumors. Remember to avoid penalty points during peak hours when driving, safety always comes first.
