BDifficulty 2/5

If a driver loses their entire points balance, can their driving licence lose its validity?

Correct answer

Yes, once the ruling declaring the loss of validity has been notified.

Yes, after the corresponding procedure and notification of the decision declaring loss of validity because all points have been exhausted, under Article 37 of the General Driver Regulations. Having fewer points than initially assigned does not automatically invalidate a licence: the original balance need not remain intact. Once loss of validity is notified, you may not keep driving with that licence and must follow the procedure for obtaining a new one.
