FAQ TO THE FES SEMINAR

When do points expire in the central traffic register?

This depends on the severity of the offences. Since the points reform in 2014, each offence is forfeited individually.
After 2.5 years: Administrative offences punishable by one point (e.g. smartphone offence or > 20 km/h too fast i.g.O)
After 5 years: Serious administrative offences or criminal offences punishable by two points (e.g. hit and run) Criminal offences punishable by three points
After 10 years: Serious administrative offences or criminal offences with revocation of driving licence

When does the redemption period begin?

The start of the redemption of the points received begins in each case with the date of legal effect. The date of the offence is not relevant.

How is the deduction made?

After successfully completing both the traffic education and the traffic psychology part of the course, you will receive a certificate of participation that must be submitted to the competent authority within 14 working days.

How can I find out my score?
