Why Hasn't My Driving License Been Restored to 12 Points?

[Nguyen]

If the demerit points remain on your driving license despite reaching the clearance date, there are three possible reasons: 1. Unpaid Fines: If the corresponding fines have not been fully paid, the demerit points associated with unpaid fines will carry over to the next scoring cycle. 2. Points Exceeding 12: If the accumulated demerit points reach or exceed 12, they will not be automatically cleared. You must participate in a training course and pass the exam before the points can be reset. 3. Delayed Online Updates: If neither of the above applies, the issue may be due to delayed updates in the online query system. In such cases, the results obtained from the traffic police department should be considered authoritative. Relevant regulations are as follows: According to the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses,' if a driver's demerit points in a scoring cycle do not reach 12 and all fines have been paid, the points will be cleared. However, if there are unpaid fines, the demerit points will carry over to the next scoring cycle, even if the total points are below 12.
