The penalty points system, including the application of such points on the licence record of an individual, is provided for in the Road Traffic Act, 2002. Penalty points endorsed on a licence record remain on that record for a period of three years from the appropriate date in each instance. That date is specified in section 7 of the Act as 28 days from the date of the notification issued under Section 5.
