Traffic violations that obscure the number plate have dropped from 12 points to 9 points, driving mobile phones has increased from 2 points to 3 points, and minor traffic violations such as not putting annual inspection signs and not bringing driver's licenses on the car will not be scored...
From April 1, the Measures for the Administration of Scoring of Road Traffic Safety Violations will be officially implemented, which adjusts the scoring of a number of traffic violations and adds a number of scoring items.
On February 23, the reporter sorted out the differences between the new scoring rules and the current rules, reminding drivers to drive in a civilized manner and travel safely.
A number of scoring modifications have been added, and a one-time 9-point item has been added
The reporter learned from the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security that the "Road Traffic Safety Law" implemented in 2004 stipulates a traffic violation scoring system, and in the same year, the Ministry of Public Security issued the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses", which clarified the scoring behavior and scoring value in the form of an annex. The main purpose of the separate formulation of the new departmental regulations "Measures for the Scoring and Management of Road Traffic Safety Violations" is to better play the role of the scoring system, adhere to the combination of leniency and severity, strengthen education and guidance, and promote the improvement of drivers' awareness of safety and civilization.
After the revision, the items that are scored 9 points at one time have been added, and the items that are scored 2 points at a time have been deleted. After the modification, there are 50 scoring behaviors, of which 7 are worth 12 points, 7 are worth 9 points, 11 are scored 6 points, 15 are scored 3 points, and 10 items are scored 1 point.
The new scoring management measures continue to maintain 12 points for violations that seriously obstruct traffic safety, such as drunk driving, fleeing after causing casualties in traffic accidents, and using forged and altered license plates.
According to the degree of impact on road traffic safety and smoothness, the demerit point value of some traffic violations is reduced. Driving a vehicle that does not conform to the license plate is reduced from 12 points to 9 points; the score for driving a motor vehicle that does not hang a number plate or deliberately obscures or defacess the number plate is adjusted from 12 points to 9 points; the illegal score for driving a motor vehicle that does not install a number plate in accordance with the regulations is the largest drop, from the original 12 points to 3 points; and the driving violation of the prohibition sign and the prohibition marking instruction is adjusted from the original 3 points to 1 point.
Some traffic violations have increased their scores, and the number of points for obstructing safe driving such as driving with a mobile phone has been increased from 2 points to 3 points; when the road congestion is slowed down, 3 points are deducted for illegal traffic, such as congestion and occupying the opposite lane; illegal parking on high-speed or urban expressways has increased from 6 points to 9 points.
Some minor traffic violations are not scored, such as driving without placing inspection signs and insurance signs, and not carrying driving licenses and driver's licenses with them.
In addition, some scoring items have been added, 12 points are credited for selling driver's licenses for profit, 12 points are deducted for reversing, retrograde, or crossing the central divider belt on urban expressways, and 1 point is deducted for driving a truck that has changed the registered structure, structure or characteristics without authorization.
Scores below 12 points can be deducted by learning the method to "return blood"
The scoring management method adds a provision of "deducting points from studying the law", and drivers can "return blood" through this method. The reporter learned that as early as September 2020, the "learning the law and subtracting points" system in Hunan Province was all put into operation.
Drivers with less than 12 points on the driver's license who meet the conditions and apply, participate in the study of road traffic safety laws, regulations and related knowledge and pass the examination, or participate in the traffic safety public welfare activities organized by the public security traffic management department, can deduct points from the accumulated points, and can deduct up to 6 points in a scoring cycle. The deduction of points for studying the law can only be deducted from the driver's existing accumulated point value, with a cumulative maximum of 6 points, but may not be used to reduce or reduce the point value of traffic violations that have not yet occurred.
The scoring management measures also make detailed provisions for full score learning, if the driver accumulates 12 points in a scoring cycle, the traffic police department will withhold the driver's license, issue a compulsory measure certificate, and deliver the full score education notice, and the driver needs to participate in a seven-day road traffic safety law, regulations and related knowledge study. If the driver scores 12 points multiple times in a scoring cycle, the learning time is increased by seven days for each increase in the number of full scores or 12 points for cumulative points. If you score 12 points at a time, you need to take the subject one examination; if you have accumulated 12 points or have accumulated 24 points or less than 36 points in a scoring cycle, you need to take the subject one and subject three examinations; if you have accumulated 12 points or accumulated 36 points three times in a scoring cycle, you need to take the subject one, subject two and subject three examinations.
