In Portugal, every driver starts with 12 points. Points are deducted for committing grave or very grave traffic infractions and road crimes. If you lose all your points, your driving license can be suspended or revoked, requiring mandatory retraining.
Grave infractions typically result in a deduction of 2 or 3 points. Very grave infractions can lead to a deduction of 4 or 5 points. For example, grave infractions involving alcohol or using a mobile phone can incur 3 points, while very grave infractions under the influence of alcohol deduct 5 points.
Yes, points can be restored. If you do not commit any grave, very grave infractions or road crimes for a period of three years, points can be added back to your license. You can also participate in voluntary road safety courses for partial point restoration, up to a maximum of 15 points in certain situations.
If your driving license point balance reaches zero, your license will be revoked or suspended. This typically leads to a mandatory retraining period and requires you to pass a new theoretical driving exam before your license can be reinstated.
