Question 4442

If a driver loses their entire points balance, can their driver's license lose its validity?

  1. No, a driver's license only loses its validity when it expires.
  2. Yes, once the driver has been notified of the decision declaring the loss of validity.
  3. Yes, validity is lost automatically when the balance reaches 0 points.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, once the driver has been notified of the decision declaring the loss of validity.

Yes, but not the moment your balance reaches 0. The traffic authority opens proceedings, declares that your license is no longer valid, and notifies you of the decision. Once you receive that notification, you are no longer allowed to drive.
