Will the demerit points be reset after renewing the driver's license?

[DiHector]

Demerit points will not be reset after renewing the driver's license upon expiration. This is because the calculation of demerit point clearance is based on the driver's license scoring cycle, not on whether the license has been renewed. Below is additional information: 1. Renewal rules: If a motor vehicle driver has not accumulated 12 or more demerit points in any scoring cycle during the six-year validity period of their driver's license, they will be issued a driver's license with a ten-year validity period. If they have not accumulated 12 or more demerit points in any scoring cycle during the ten-year validity period, they will be issued a long-term valid driver's license. 2. Renewal time: A motor vehicle driver should apply for renewal at the vehicle management office of the issuing location or elsewhere within 90 days before the expiration of their driver's license. 3. Demerit point clearance rules: According to regulations, if a motor vehicle driver has not accumulated 12 or more demerit points in a scoring cycle and has paid all fines, the demerit points will be cleared. If fines remain unpaid even if the demerit points are below 12, the points will carry over to the next scoring cycle.
