Why is the score still 0 after the C1 clearance?

A cumulative score of 0 on the driver's license indicates that the holder has no traffic violations or points deducted. Below are relevant details about driver's license scoring: 1. Scoring cycle: The cumulative scoring cycle for road traffic safety violations (i.e., the scoring cycle) is 12 months, with a full score of 12 points, calculated from the date the motor vehicle driver's license was initially issued, and so on in a continuous cycle. The clearance date for the driver's license is the issuance date on the license, and the system automatically clears the score on that date each year. The scoring cycle starts from the 'initial issuance date' of the driver's license, with one year as a cycle, and so on in a continuous loop. 2. Point deduction handling: If the points deducted within a year are relatively few, they will automatically reset to zero at the start of the next cycle, and the score will restart from 12 points. Drivers who accumulate 12 points within a cycle usually need to participate in learning activities organized by relevant departments. In some regions, drivers who accumulate 9 or more points within a cycle also need to attend these sessions. For those with particularly severe violations, measures such as temporary suspension or revocation of the driver's license are often imposed.
Sigh, I saw on the app that my C1 points were cleared but the score still showed 0. At first, I thought it was strange, but later I asked a friend and learned that system updates have delays, which is quite common. Usually, after points are cleared, the database takes a day or two to sync and display the new score because backend processing takes time, especially during peak hours when lag is more noticeable. That time, I waited half a day, and the next day my score jumped back to 12. If you're in a hurry to drive, don’t worry—traffic regulations allow for this buffer period. As long as your paper record shows the points were successfully cleared, just drive safely and you’ll be fine.
Hey, as someone who's been driving for almost a decade, I've also encountered situations where the points didn't update immediately after clearance. It's mainly due to the app not refreshing or running an outdated version. You should try logging out and back in, or updating to the latest version to see if the data syncs. Also, check if you've bound the wrong account or if network issues are causing the display to get stuck at 0. When I check my points on my phone, I always make sure the signal is good to avoid unnecessary stress. According to the rules, your points should be full after clearance—it's no big deal, no need to worry.
From a regulatory perspective, there are several reasons why a C1 score may show as 0 after clearance: The clearance process is not instantaneous, and there may still be pending violations that haven't been settled; sometimes clearance only restores partial points if the previous score was negative, requiring gradual accumulation from 0. According to official documentation I've reviewed, display delays are quite common, so it's advisable to double-check through the traffic police website. Stay patient and don't rush.
