Will the driving license be downgraded if 12 points are accumulated?

If 12 points are accumulated on the driving license, it will not be downgraded, but the holder will need to retake the subject one exam. Below is relevant information about the driving license: 1. Introduction: The full name of the driving license is the motor vehicle driving license, which is a certificate required by law for motor vehicle drivers. Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills, and those lacking such skills may cause traffic accidents if they drive recklessly. Generally, individuals cannot drive on the road without a license. However, for those who have mastered safe driving techniques, the document that permits them to drive on the road is called a 'driving license.' This indicates that a driving license is a 'permit.' 2. Examination Content: The test subjects include traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, and road driving (including safe and civilized driving), totaling three subjects. Before each subject exam, an appointment must be made (special circumstances may allow scheduling through the driving test green channel), and the exam is taken after the appointment.
My friend had 12 points deducted last year for speeding and running red lights, resulting in his B2 driver's license being directly downgraded to a C1, which was a significant loss. He had to attend a week-long training at the traffic police station and pass a traffic rules test before he could continue driving. This incident taught him a lesson, and now he tells everyone to drive properly and not think that point deductions are a minor issue. Especially for those driving large vehicles or buses, the risk of downgrade is even greater, potentially affecting their livelihood for life. Everyone should be careful—use navigation apps to remind yourself of speed limits regularly, and don't wait until a tragedy happens to regret it.
Accumulating 12 penalty points on your driver's license can indeed lead to downgrading, especially for those holding Class A or B licenses. I've heard many cases where truck drivers had their licenses downgraded to regular car licenses after reaching the point limit, wasting years of professional experience. The situation is slightly better for regular car licenses, which only require retraining and testing, but it still causes significant inconvenience. The key is not to wait until you reach 11 points to become vigilant—install a traffic violation alert app on your phone to monitor your status and adjust driving habits promptly. Safe driving is crucial—following traffic rules not only avoids trouble but also saves lives.
