Will 11 points deducted from the driver's license affect its use?
2 Answers
Having 11 points deducted from your driver's license does not affect your driving. Here is relevant information: Clearance time: The clearance time for the driver's license is the issuance date on the license, and the system automatically clears the points on the issuance date each year. 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 is first obtained, and so on in a continuous cycle. Automatic reset in the next cycle: If the points deducted for violations do not reach 12 within a scoring cycle, the scoring system will automatically reset the points from the previous scoring cycle (after paying the fines) at the start of the next scoring cycle.
A driver's license with 11 points deducted can still be used and won't be revoked, but I recently went through this situation. Driving every day was nerve-wracking because the total score is only 12 points, and now I only have 1 point left. A slight speeding or running a red light would be disastrous. Once all points are deducted, you have to take traffic rules exams and may face a suspension for several months, affecting work and life. I learned from my mistakes that I need to pay extra attention to speed limit signs and traffic signals while driving, such as using navigation apps' alert features more often to avoid distracted driving. Additionally, regularly checking violation records on apps and handling tickets early can reduce unexpected point deductions. A friend reminded me that accumulating too many points might also increase insurance premiums. I'll drive more carefully in the next cycle and treat it as a lesson—safety first.
