Kuwait suspended a total of 860 driving licences during the first quarter of the year for exceeding the number of penalty points, a top official revealed.
Traffic Department Director Major General Yousuf Al-Khaddah asked all traffic departments in six governorates to be strict in suspending driving licenses that exceed the number of penalty points, Kuwait Times reported.
The first suspension will be for a period of three months if the violator exceeds 14 points, the second suspension for six months if the violator exceeds 12 points, while the third suspension will be for nine months for exceeding 10 points, said Public Relations and Traffic Awareness Officer Lieutenant Colonel Abdullah BuHassan.
The fourth suspension will be for a year and finally the license will be revoked permanently.
Once suspended, the license is made visible on the Kuwait Mobile ID app, which means the violator is not allowed to drive.
