Parliament Increases Penalty Points for Driving License Loss
October 31, 2024
The Parliament has increased the penalty points for losing a driving license from 12 to 16, effective February 1, 2025. This modification was deemed necessary due to new traffic control measures and their associated problems. MP Chrysanthos Savvidis argued that this change will alleviate pressure on the courts and help drivers retain their licenses. Independent MP Alexandra Attalides opposed the change, stating that a transitional period should be established to avoid confusion among citizens.
