In Portuguese traffic law, what happens when a driver's point balance reaches zero (0 points)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. The driving licence is revoked and the driver cannot retest for two years
- Step 1: Licence revocation at zero points. Step 2. Article 148 dictates that exhaustion of all points leads to revocation of the driving license (cassação da carta). The individual must wait two years before they can apply for a new license from scratch. Answer: The driving licence is revoked (cassação do título de condução) and the driver cannot retest for two years. Why not the others: Paying a fine cannot restore points; revocation is full and mandates a 2-year waiting period.
