Why is the driving license score 0?
2 Answers
A driving license score of 0 indicates there are no traffic violation records, which is a normal status. Driving license point deduction: If the driver's accumulated points in a scoring cycle do not reach 12 points and all fines have been paid, the points will be cleared. If the points do not reach 12 but there are unpaid fines, the points will carry over to the next scoring cycle. Driving license score deduction of 12 points: If a driver accumulates 12 points in a scoring cycle, their driving license will be confiscated by the vehicle management office. Within 15 days, they must report to the traffic management department of the public security authority at the license issuance location or the place of violation to undergo a seven-day study session on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. After completing the study, the driver must take an exam on these laws and regulations within 20 days. If they pass, the points will be cleared and the driving license returned. If they fail, they must continue studying and retaking the exam. Refusal to participate in the study or exam will result in the traffic management department announcing the suspension of the driving license.
I just got my driver's license not long ago and I'm particularly nervous about whether I'll get points deducted while driving. I've heard experienced drivers often remind beginners to be careful on the road, as once you violate traffic rules and get points deducted, you'll have to retake the course. The driver's license originally has a full score of 12 points, and if you don't violate any rules, it remains at 0 points deducted. Over the past few months, every time I drive, I keep a close eye on speed limit signs and absolutely refuse to speed. I even turn on the low beams when driving at night to avoid penalty points. To be honest, maintaining 0 points is all about developing good habits. Every morning before setting off, I check the car lights and tires, and I never answer phone calls while driving. The points deduction system is designed for safety, and having a clean record makes me feel proud—it also means a lower accident rate. Anyway, new drivers should start from zero, following the rules to save both trouble and money. My friends all laugh at me for being too cautious, but safety comes first.
