If you commit a traffic violation while driving a vehicle, does it always result in the loss of points from your driving license?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Not all infractions result in the loss of points. The Points-Based License system is designed to penalize behaviors that directly put road safety at risk. Therefore, the correct answer is that only specific infractions (generally classified as serious or very serious, such as speeding, alcohol consumption, or mobile phone use) deduct points. Minor infractions and some administrative serious infractions only carry a financial penalty (fine) but do not affect your point balance. Furthermore, ownership of the vehicle is irrelevant; points are deducted from the driver responsible for the violation.
