Driving license: scale of points withdrawn by offense
Verified 30 July 2024 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
The point permit system applies to all driving licenses. Points can be taken away if you do not respect the rules of the road. The number of points removed ranges from 1 to 6 depending on the severity of the offense. If you commit multiple offenses at the same time, it may be withdrawn up to 8 points. We're showing you the number of points that have been removed for the major traffic offenses.
You can also consult a simulator to find out how many points are withdrawn in the event of a traffic offense:
