Question 316

If a driver loses all their points, can their driver's license become invalid?

  1. Yes, once notification of the decision declaring it invalid has been given.
  2. No, the license only becomes invalid when it expires.
  3. Yes, it automatically becomes invalid when the balance reaches 0 points.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, once notification of the decision declaring it invalid has been given.

Running out of points starts a procedure to invalidate the license. Invalidation is not automatic when the balance reaches zero; it requires a decision notified to the driver.
