The more serious the offense, the longer it takes to recover the points, especially if you commit a new offense during the recovery period.

1/If you commit an offense and you lose only 1 point, you recover it after 6 months.

Example: speeding less than 20 km/h.

Condition: do not commit a new offense during this 6-month period.

The recovery period starts from the final date of the infringement

2/If you commit a relatively serious offense (2nd or 3rd class), you get your points back after 2 years.

Example: Change of direction without turn signal

Conditions: not to commit a new infringement during this 2-year period and not to have already points to recover following a serious infringement.

The recovery period shall start from the final date of the last infringement committed.

3/If you commit a serious offense (4th or 5th class or misdemeanor), you get your points back after 3 years.

Example: stoppage at a red light not respected

Conditions: not to commit a new offense during this period of 3 years.

The recovery period shall start from the final date of the last infringement committed.

*

The final date of the infringement shall be the date on which the infringement is established. The offense shall be established by payment of the fine, a final judicial decision, the issue of the flat-rate fine plus a fine, or the execution of a penal composition.

Careful!

The withdrawal of all points (zero balance) results in a driving ban.

You must undergo a medical check before you can reissue the license (code or code + conduct if you have the license for less than 3 years).

Did you know that?

- You can recover up to 4 points per year within the limit of 12 points of the permit by doing a road safety awareness course. The only condition is that your license must not be invalidated (balance at zero).
