The Points system of the Licensing Authority:
- Correct answer: Is additional to any other punishment that is imposed by a court of law on a driver that committed a traffic offense
- Allows a police officer to disqualify a driver’s license following any traffic offense that is committed by the driver.
- Can only be exercised by a court of law.
- Is exercised only if no punishment was imposed on the driver by a court of law/
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Is additional to any other punishment that is imposed by a court of law on a driver that committed a traffic offense
The points system lets the Licensing Authority take its own administrative measures, such as a mandatory driving course or licence suspension, when a driver accumulates points. These measures are separate from the criminal process and come on top of any punishment a court imposed for the offence. They do not depend on the court's decision, and they do not let a police officer disqualify a licence for any offence.
