Will unpaid fines affect the clearance of demerit points on a driver's license?
1 Answers
If demerit points are incurred on a driver's license and the corresponding fines are not paid, it will affect the clearance of points in the next scoring cycle, and the points will carry over to the next cycle. According to Article 69 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses': For motor vehicle drivers whose demerit points do not reach 12 within a scoring cycle and who have paid all fines, the points will be cleared. However, for those whose points do not reach 12 but still have unpaid fines, the points will be carried over to the next scoring cycle. The calculation method for the driver's license scoring cycle is as follows: 1. The cycle starts from the date the driver's license is first issued, with each cycle lasting 12 months. According to Article 65 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses', the cumulative scoring cycle (i.e., the scoring cycle) for road traffic violations is 12 months, with a maximum of 12 points, calculated from the date the driver's license is first issued. 2. Based on the severity of the road traffic violation, the points deducted for a single violation can be: 12 points, 6 points, 3 points, 2 points, or 1 point. 3. Article 66 states that penalties and demerit points for road traffic violations committed by motor vehicle drivers are executed simultaneously. If a motor vehicle driver commits two or more violations at once, the points should be calculated separately and accumulated.
