You can reduce your points by attending a driving fitness seminar. The driving fitness seminar consists of educational and psychological elements. If you have between 1 and 5 points, you can attend a driving fitness seminar voluntarily. This allows you to reduce 1 point once within 5 years.

If you have 6 to 7 points, you can also attend the driving aptitude seminar voluntarily, but without a deduction of points.

The fitness to drive seminar is intended to clarify the causes of the deficiencies and show you ways to rectify them. The result of the consultation is only intended for the person concerned and is only communicated to them. However, the person concerned will receive a certificate of attendance for submission to the competent authority.

Documents may be required. Please contact the responsible office.

Fees may apply. Please contact the responsible office.
