In this article, we will take a look at the criteria and methods for eliminating demerit points on a driver’s license. Penalties are imposed for various reasons, such as violating traffic laws and causing accidents. Please note that if you accumulate demerit points, your license may be suspended or revoked.
If there are more than 40 demerit points, the driver’s license is suspended, and if there are more than 121 points for one year, 201 points for two years, and 271 points for three years, the driver’s license is revoked. If it is canceled, you will have to get a new one, so you have to follow the traffic laws carefully to avoid accumulating demerit points.

Demerit points on driver’s license? 좋은뉴스
If the demerit points are less than 40 points, it is automatically extinguished after one year from the date of the last violation or the date of the accident without a traffic accident or violation of laws. You can check how many points you have received at efine (efine.go.kr).
Is there any way to reduce the penalty points?
If you get a lot of demerit points and get close to 40, your license will be suspended immediately if you make one mistake, right? Therefore, if the cumulative penalty points are around 40, it is better to look at how to reduce them and reduce them as much as possible.
Remember that 20 points can be deducted when you take the traffic law education provided by the Road Traffic Authority! However, please note that only drivers with less than 40 penalty points are eligible to take the course, and the course can only be taken once a year.
In addition, there is a way to join the good driving mileage system. If you fill out the pledge of safe driving at the police station or district corps and fulfill it for one year, 10 mileage points will be accumulated, and if you receive demerit points later, you can deduct it from your mileage.
How to get preferential points
There is also a preferential point system. You can get 40 points at once. It is given when a so-called hit-and-run vehicle is arrested that causes a traffic accident and runs away without action. It’s hard to see in front of your eyes in the first place, so it’s a bit difficult to receive.
This is additional information from here. The method for a driver who has already received a license suspension order to have the suspension period reduced is to complete on-site participation training, such as special traffic safety compulsory training. After completing all training, the period of 20 days will be reduced. If you have completed the traffic participation education after the traffic literacy education, you can receive a reduction of +10 days and a total of 30 days.
If a model driver gets his license suspended, he will receive only half of the period of enforcement.
