Points-based Driving License: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Understand how the Italian points system works for your driving license and what happens if you lose too many points.
This system uses a points-based method to manage driving privileges and track traffic violations.
Who it's for
This scheme applies to all drivers.
What you get
You are assigned a specific number of points on your driving license. These points act as a record of your driving conduct, with points being deducted when traffic violations occur.
What it costs you
Every time you commit a traffic infraction, points are removed from your total. If you lose points, you may have the option to take specific courses to help recover them.
The catch to know
The most important thing to remember is that if your balance reaches zero, you lose your driving privileges entirely and must retake the driving test to get your license back.
How to apply
- Drive according to the rules of the road to maintain your points.
- Monitor your balance to track any deductions from violations.
- Consider attending recovery courses if you need to regain lost points.
- Check the official government portal for the current rules and status.
