​KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Penalty Points


Penalty points are points recorded on a driver’s licence following conviction for certain road traffic offences.


The system is commonly known as the totting-up system.


Offences such as speeding or dangerous driving may result in endorsement with penalty points.


Accumulating too many points within a specified period may lead to disqualification from driving.


The number of points imposed depends on the seriousness of the offence.
