| The government thinks about licence with points |
| Although at the moment it is not on the agenda, the Spanish Government is thinking about introducing a driving licence with points in a not very distant future. This type of licence punishes drivers who commit offences, in addition to fines, with the loss of points. This method means that drivers lose their licence when they reach a certain number of points. The use of this type of licence has brought positive results in countries like France, where a 20% reduction in mortal traffic accidents has been achieved. |
