LN: 25% of drivers with 12 points have no licence to revoke

One-fourth of drivers who have received the maximum 12-point penalty never possessed a drivers’ licence in the first place. The figure was reported by the daily Lidové Noviny citing research from the Ministry of Transport. Since the point system was introduced three years ago over 23,000 people (96% of them males) have received the maximum penalty, which results in the loss of the driver’s licence. Operating a motor vehicle without a licence is penalised with 7 points.
