The records of my Department's National Vehicle and Driver File (NVDF) indicate that 683,261 drivers currently have penalty points. Under the Road Safety Authority Act 2006 (Conferral of Functions) Order 2006 (S.I. No. 477 of 2006) responsibility for the driver testing function lies with the Road Safety Authority.
