AMDifficulty 2/5

What is the initial credit of points assigned to a driver who obtains their first driving licence?

Correct answer

8 points.

8 points for someone obtaining their first licence with no previous driving authorisation. The balance belongs to the driver and is shared across all licences: obtaining another category does not create or reset a balance. After two years without a final penalty for offences carrying point loss, holders with an initial eight-point credit move to twelve. Experience or a new licence alone does not erase point losses.
