Questions Learners Have About License Suspension & Restoration

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising License Suspension & Restoration, including how questions match the official theory exam in Iceland, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What is the difference between driving license suspension (svipting) and a driving ban (akstursbann) in Iceland?

In Iceland, 'svipting' refers to the formal suspension of a driving license, often for a defined period, while 'akstursbann' is a driving ban, which can be part of a suspension or a separate prohibition from driving. The conditions for reinstatement often differ based on the severity and nature of the offense.

Do I always need to retake my driving tests after a license suspension in Iceland?

If your driving license suspension in Iceland lasts for 12 months (one year) or more, you are always required to retake both the theory and practical driving tests to regain your license. For shorter suspensions, specific conditions apply.

What role does the police play in reinstating a driving license in Iceland?

For suspensions lasting 3 years or more, or for lifetime suspensions, police approval from the National Police Commissioner is required before you can apply for a new driver's license with the District Commissioner. For lifetime suspensions, a pardon from the chief of police is the first step.

What happens to my penalty points after my driving license is restored in Iceland?

Upon the successful restoration of your driving license in Iceland, your penalty point count is typically reset. This means you start again without accumulated points, but new violations will add points as per Icelandic traffic law.

Are there special courses required to regain a suspended license in Iceland?

Yes, individuals whose licenses are revoked or are under a driving ban, especially for serious or repeat offenses, may be required to complete special courses at a driving school. For provisional licenses, a 4-evening course is often necessary.
