Question 5099

Is the validity of a driver's license conditioned on its holder not having lost their entire allocation of points?

  1. No, points only affect the penalties imposed.
  2. Yes.
  3. No, its validity is only limited in time.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes.

Yes. Your driver’s license’s validity also depends on your points. If you lose your entire balance through final penalties, the traffic authority declares that your license is no longer valid and you are no longer allowed to drive, even if the expiration date shown on your license has not passed.
