Since the Chinese driving license runs on a point system that each driver has 12 points in total per year. But the owner can “add points” to his driving license as follows:

1. No violation record

If the owner does not violate the rules in a scoring cycle, he/she can add another 3 points on the basis of the original 12 points.

 

2.“Traffic knowledge quizzes”

The transportation departments of some cities have launched quizzes about traffic regulations and driving safety on their official website. The owner can get the bonus points up to 6 points by answering the corresponding questions.

 

3. Report Traffic Violation

The transportation department supports the general public to participate in reporting violations. As long as the content of the report is true and effective, the reporter can obtain the corresponding bonus points after verification.

Driving License for Life

 

Beginning next year, the driving license policy of lifelong system must meet the following conditions:

• After two renewal cycles, you can apply for a permanent license the third time;

• No violation of 12 points is recorded within the scoring period.

The driving application for the first motor vehicle driving license is valid for 6 years, and can be applied for renewal within 90 days before the expiration. For example, the effective date on the motor vehicle driving license is until to August 8, 2020, then you need to apply for a driving license within 90 days before August 8, 2020.

If it is not renewed in time, it can be reissued by the traffic control office. However, do not drive a vehicle with expired driving license. Once investigated, it will be punished with a maximum of 2,000 yuan and 15 days of detention.

The Age for Obtaining 

Driving License Is Relaxed

Nowadays, it is very inconvenient for older people to travel without being able to drive a car. Some old people bought old scooters, but these scooters have many safety hazards.

The age limit for C1 driving licenses has also been adjusted since next year. It used to be that  the elderly can’t drive after 65 years old. Now the age limit has been raised to 70 years old, but remember to submit a medical report every year.

Chinese government has continuously introduced new regulations, some of which are more stringent, and some policies are indeed good news. No matter how the future policies change, the fundamental starting point is to strengthen traffic management and ensure the safety of everyone’s travel!

A female suspect on the run from police in southwest China has been dubbed the country’s most beautiful criminal after her mugshot went viral on social media. A wanted poster for Qingchen Jingjing, was released by police in the city of Mianyang in Sichuan province last Tuesday.

She is accused of being part of a criminal gang that scammed money out of customers in bars and tea-houses, according to the notice posted on Weibo. Her age and occupation have not been confirmed although a former work colleague suggested she was aged around 19.

Two members of the seven-person gang have surrendered since then but Qingchen was still missing, according to a police source quoted in The Beijing News on Sunday. But recently, the most beautiful criminal turned himself in.

Police started investigating the gang when a man complained he had been scammed out of thousands of yuan – a sum worth hundreds of US dollars – at a bar in the city’s science and technology district.

Police later concluded that the gang had been operating for at least half a year and targeted drunk people. After Qingchen’s photo went viral, the police Weibo account said: “Being beautiful is not your problem, but using your looks to commit illegal crimes is not right.”

A person who claimed to be a former high school classmate of Qingchen said that other students called her the “classroom beauty” and she was popular with boys.

Another person who claimed to be a former colleague of hers at a “listed company” said that Qingchen was extroverted and proud of her appearance.

“She was born in 1999, and a few older colleagues thought she was an ignorant child,” the colleague told news site Thecover.cn.

“When she left her job she said that she was travelling abroad with her boyfriend.”

Weibo users were quick to offer their own comments on her appearance.

“She could earn much more being a livestreamer than a bar scammer. Being a scammer is very hard work,” read one top-rated comment on Weibo.

“This is probably the one person in all of China who least wants their photo to go viral,” said another.

Qingchen’s possibly unwanted brush with fame, mirrors that of Jeremy Meeks – arguably the best-known “hot criminal” in the world.

Meeks, a former member of California’s notorious Crips gang, was arrested by California police in 2014 for gun possession and theft.

His mugshot went viral after it was posted by police on Facebook, and Meeks ended up with a lucrative modelling career after his release in 2016.
