If a driver loses their total points balance, can their driving licence be revoked?
Driver requirements
Explanation
When a driver loses **all their points** due to infractions, they cannot drive immediately. However, the **loss of validity** of the driving license does not occur automatically upon reaching 0 points.
- **Official notification**: The loss of validity of the license occurs **once the resolution of the declaration of loss of validity is officially notified**. This means there is an administrative process that must be completed before the license becomes invalid.
- **Recovery of the license**: After losing all points, the driver must wait **six months** before attempting to recover their license. During this time, they cannot drive. To recover the license, it is necessary to complete a **24-hour course** and pass an exam at the Traffic Headquarters.
- **Recidivism**: If the driver loses all points again within the following three years, the waiting period to attempt to recover the license is extended to **12 months**.
Therefore, the correct answer is that the validity of the license is lost **once the resolution is notified**, not automatically upon reaching 0 points.
