Will unpaid fines affect the reset of demerit points on a driver's license?

[DiAriana]

Unpaid fines will affect the reset of demerit points on a driver's license. The demerit point cycle starts from the date the driver's license was obtained. If the demerit points do not reach 12 within a demerit point cycle (12 months) and all fines are paid before the end of this cycle, the system will automatically reset the points at the start of the next cycle. However, if there are unpaid fines, the demerit points will not be reset at the beginning of the next cycle. The points will continue to accumulate in the next cycle, and if they exceed 12, the driver will need to undergo training to eliminate the points. Below is relevant information about the demerit point cycle on a driver's license: 1. Introduction: The demerit point cycle refers to the cumulative period for traffic violations (i.e., the demerit point cycle), which lasts 12 months with a maximum of 12 points. It is calculated from the date the driver's license was first obtained. 2. Calculation: The demerit point cycle starts from the date the driver's license was obtained. If the demerit points do not reach 12 within a demerit point cycle (12 months) and all fines are paid before the end of this cycle, the system will automatically reset the points at the start of the next cycle. However, if there are unpaid fines, the demerit points will not be reset at the beginning of the next cycle. The points will continue to accumulate in the next cycle, and if they exceed 12, the driver will need to undergo training to eliminate the points. After adding a new vehicle class to the license and obtaining a new driver's license, the validity period of the license will not be recalculated. Additionally, the demerit point cycle will always start from the original date the license was first obtained. It is important to note that during the probation period after adding a new vehicle class, if the driver's license has a record of 12 demerit points, the probationary driving qualification for the new vehicle class will be revoked.
