Nearly 200 behaviors can result in driving license points being deducted

Traffic police in Vinh City are measuring the blood alcohol level of car drivers.

The Ministry of Public Security is seeking feedback on a draft decree on administrative penalties for violations of road traffic order and safety, including the deduction and restoration of points on driver's licenses. This document provides guidance on the implementation of the Law on Road Traffic Order and Safety, which was recently passed by the National Assembly.

According to the draft decree, in addition to monetary fines for administrative violations, 189 offenses will result in a deduction of 2 to 12 points from the driver's license. Of these, 28 offenses will result in a 12-point deduction. These are all intentional, dangerous offenses with a high risk of causing traffic accidents.

Specifically, the following behaviors will result in a 12-point deduction: Driving a vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration exceeding 80 milligrams/100 milliliters of blood, or exceeding 0.4 milligrams/liter of breath; driving under the influence of drugs; carrying cargo exceeding 150% of the permitted load capacity; illegal racing, reckless driving, swerving, steering with feet; driving a car exceeding the speed limit by more than 35 km/h...

Each mistake will result in a 10-point deduction. This includes driving a vehicle on the road with a blood alcohol concentration exceeding 50 milligrams to 80 milligrams/100 milliliters of blood or exceeding 0.25 milligrams to 0.4 milligrams/liter of breath.

The following offenses result in a 6-point deduction: Failure to obey traffic signals; failure to comply with instructions from traffic controllers or supervisors; driving against the flow of traffic on a highway; reversing on a highway; causing an accident and failing to stop, failing to preserve the scene, fleeing without reporting to authorities, and failing to participate in rescuing the injured...

Errors will result in a 3-point deduction. Such violations include failing to obey traffic signals and signs, not using warning signals when stopping or parking, etc., which can lead to accidents.

Offenses resulting in a 2-point deduction include: driving a vehicle directly involved in a traffic accident and failing to stop, failing to preserve the scene, failing to assist the injured; towing or pushing another vehicle, etc.

According to the drafting committee, deducting points from a driver's license is not a form of administrative punishment. A person who has had points deducted from their driver's license will not have their license revoked.

Data regarding points, point deductions, and point restoration on driver's licenses are stored in the administrative violation processing database system. Point deductions and restorations on driver's licenses are performed automatically within the system.

The system of deducting points from driver's licenses serves both as a deterrent and an educational measure to promote law compliance. Each point deduction acts as a "warning bell," encouraging drivers to better adhere to the law. As long as all points have not been deducted from their license, the driver is still permitted to operate a vehicle.

The Law on Road Traffic Safety stipulates that a driver's license will have all 12 points restored if not all points have been deducted and no points have been deducted in 12 months since the last point deduction. If all points are deducted from a driver's license, the license holder is prohibited from operating any vehicle on public roads under that license type.

At least six months after all points are deducted, the driver must take a test on traffic laws and regulations, organized by the traffic police; if they pass, their full 12 points will be restored.

The Law on Road Traffic Safety and Order will take effect from January 1, 2025.
