Will the points deducted the day before the driver's license cycle be cleared?

Points deducted the day before the driver's license cycle will be cleared. Below are the specific details about the driver's license cycle: 1. Cycle: A driver's license scoring cycle lasts for 12 months, with a total of 12 points available per cycle. If the full points are used, corresponding penalties will apply. The scoring cycle starts from the date the driver's license is first issued. For example, if you obtained your driver's license on June 21, 2015, then the scoring cycle would run until 24:00 on June 20, 2016. On June 21, 2015, the next scoring cycle begins, and the points on the driver's license will be cleared on this day. 2. Legal Basis: According to Article 55 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses' issued by the Ministry of Public Security, 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 issued. Article 59 states that if a motor vehicle driver's accumulated points within 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 points but there are still unpaid fines, the points will carry over to the next scoring cycle.

As a veteran driver with over a decade of experience, I have personal insights on this topic. The demerit point cycle for a driver's license typically starts from the day you obtain it, lasting a full 12 months. All accumulated points are automatically reset only on the final day of this cycle, known as the reset date. If you receive demerit points just one day before the cycle ends, those points won't be cleared immediately but will be added to your current points and then reset together on the reset day. For example, if your cycle ends on July 1st and you receive 3 points on June 30th, these 3 points will temporarily remain until they are completely reset on July 1st. It's advisable to always follow traffic rules and avoid taking risks near the reset date, as accumulating too many points might affect future license renewals or car insurance purchases. Regularly check your license status through convenient apps that show your points and reset dates.

My friend and I discussed this last year, and many beginners mistakenly thought they could clear their points the day before, only to find it was all in vain. The reset of driving license points strictly follows the cycle end date, not the day before. Think about it, penalty points are recorded from the day you violate the rules and won’t be cleared until the 12-month cycle ends. If you’re penalized just before the reset date, you’ll carry those points until the actual reset day. I learned this the hard way—once, I was caught speeding right before the cycle ended and had to carry those extra points for days. The safest approach is to check your remaining points two or three months in advance, handle any violations promptly, and avoid last-minute rushes. Safe driving is paramount; don’t let small mistakes disrupt your travel plans. Download the Traffic Management 12123 App to track dates in real-time and stop guessing every day.

After driving for over three years, I've learned one trick: points on your license only reset at the end of the deduction cycle, and points deducted the day before won't disappear early. Don't count on exploiting loopholes as the date approaches. That's just how the system is designed. I often remind fellow drivers in group chats that the point deduction system operates on a fixed 12-month cycle. For example, if it ends on August 15th, any violation points from August 14th will remain until the 15th before being cleared. Quickly check your cycle end date using your phone to avoid making mistakes at the last minute. A full point tally can affect license renewal or insurance purchases. Develop good driving habits – don't rush through red lights or similar violations for the sake of speed.

As a middle-aged car owner, let me share some practical advice. Points deducted the day before your license cycle ends won’t be cleared—the reset only takes effect on the exact termination date. The reason is simple: demerit points are cumulative, and the system only clears them uniformly after a full 12-month cycle. Don’t assume you can escape penalties on the last day; getting over the limit would be a huge loss. In my younger days, I ignored this and ended up with a delayed license renewal by six months after receiving a ticket. I recommend checking your points status monthly, either via the official app or at service centers, to confirm your cycle start date. Safety is no trivial matter—drive slower and steadier, handle violations promptly, and protect both your safety and peace of mind. Prevention is always better than cure.

Let's talk about driving points. I've picked up some insights during my long-distance drives. The reset of deducted license points only takes effect on the exact day the 12-month cycle ends. Got points deducted the day before? They'll stick with you until the reset date. Don't believe those online rumors claiming points can be cleared the day before – that's pure misinformation. My advice: First, check your cycle start date; second, calculate how much time is left; third, avoid violations near the cycle end. If you accumulate 12 points, you'll have to retake the written test. Regularly use the Traffic Management 12123 App to track your points and set up reminders. These small habits can help you avoid pitfalls and drive with peace of mind.
