Penalties for minor drivers

Infographic: Penalties for minor drivers

When a traffic violation normally results in penalties such as withdrawal, suspension, or revocation of a driving license, these measures do not directly apply to minor drivers.

If the violation is committed by a minor, the law provides a different system. Instead of applying accessory penalties to the license, specific measures are taken, particularly checks on the driver’s fitness and ability to drive.

This means that, rather than withdrawing or suspending a document that a minor may not fully possess in the same way as an adult, authorities may require tests, evaluations, or other measures to verify whether the young driver is still fit to drive.

These rules also apply to minors driving mopeds with a driving certificate.

The purpose of this rule is to adapt penalties to minors by focusing more on education and assessment rather than punishment, while still ensuring road safety.
