Questions Learners Have About DGT Fines & Points System

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising DGT Fines & Points System, including how questions match the official theory exam in Spain, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What is the 'Permiso por Puntos' in Spain?

The 'Permiso por Puntos' is Spain's driving licence points system, which operates on a deduction model. You start with an allocation of points (12 for established drivers, 8 for new drivers) and points are deducted for specific traffic infractions. Losing all points leads to licence suspension.

How many points do new drivers start with in Spain?

New drivers, or those within their first two years of driving experience in Spain, start with a balance of 8 points on their 'Permiso por Puntos'.

Do all traffic fines in Spain result in losing points?

No, not all traffic fines result in point deductions. Infractions like illegal parking or driving with an expired ITV (vehicle inspection) generally incur only a financial penalty, while more serious 'grave' or 'muy grave' infractions lead to both a fine and point loss.

How can I recover lost points on my Spanish driving licence?

You can recover lost points through two main routes: either by maintaining a clean driving record for two continuous years (which restores 2 points, or brings a novel driver to 12 points) or by completing an approved DGT safe driving course, which can restore up to 6 points (once every two years).

What is 'Pronto Pago' and how does it affect point deductions?

'Pronto Pago' is an early-payment discount of 50% on the financial amount of most traffic fines if paid within 20 calendar days. However, this discount only applies to the monetary fine; any associated point deductions for the infraction still occur regardless of whether you pay early or not.

What are the consequences of reaching zero points on my driving licence?

Reaching zero points on your Spanish driving licence results in its automatic suspension. You are legally required to surrender your physical licence to the DGT within 10 days and cannot drive until you have completed a mandatory awareness and refresher course and passed a theory test to restore your licence.
