In Portuguese traffic regulations, what is the base number of penalty points allocated to a driver's licence under the Portuguese points system (carta por pontos)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. 12 points
- Step 1: Portuguese points system (Decree-Law no. 19/2016). Step 2. Every driver starts with a baseline balance of 12 points, which are subtracted upon committing serious (graves) or very serious (muito graves) traffic infractions or crimes. Answer: 12 points. Why not the others: 20 points is the system in France/Italy; 10 and 15 are incorrect point values.
