What is the maximum number of points that can be lost at once for committing a single offence?
Driver requirements
Explanation
The **maximum loss of points** that can be suffered for committing a single infraction is **6 points**. This occurs when serious offenses are committed such as:
- **Driving under the influence of alcohol** with a rate higher than 0.50 mg/l of air, or 0.30 mg/l for novice and professional drivers.
- **Driving after consuming drugs** or with traces of them in the body.
- **Refusing to take alcohol or drug tests**.
- **Driving in the opposite direction**, participating in illegal races, or endangering the lives of others.
- **Tampering with vehicle devices** to avoid detection by radars or altering the operation of speed limiters.
- **Using a mobile phone while driving**.
- **Throwing objects onto the road** that may cause fires or accidents.
- **Dangerously overtaking cyclists** without respecting the minimum distance of 1.5 meters.
These infractions are considered very serious and, therefore, entail the maximum loss of points allowed for a single offense.
