Why are driving licenses revoked in Armenia?

In Armenia, a system for depriving drivers of their rights by points. The driver is awarded 9 points per year. For each violation of traffic rules, depending on the severity, the driver loses 0.5 - 4 points. If a citizen "spends" all the points in a year, he will be deprived of a driver's license for 6 months.

After the expiration of 6 months, the driver's license is automatically restored. The driver is again given 9 points for the year. In the event that he repeatedly spends all the points for the year, the period of deprivation of rights is 12 months. And in order to restore them, you already need to pass an exam.

Among them - the illegal use of light and sound signals of the police, ambulance, driving without license plates or with fake license plates, illegal use of "yellow numbers" of public transport, disobeying the demand of a traffic police officer to stop, exceeding the speed limit by 81 or more km /h

0.5 points will be deducted for minor violations:

• use of non-standard or worn out numbers,
• violations of the rules of stopping and parking.

The driver will lose 1 point in case of:

• violations of dividing lines,
• wrong turns and turns,
• violations of the rules of passage at the crossroads, pedestrian crossings, overtaking,
• smoking while driving
• unfastened seat belts,
• telephone conversations. Thus, the point will be removed for fines from 5 to 20 thousand drams.

The driver will lose 2 points for:

• tricks with license plates, even if at least one digit is covered,
• incorrect crossing of barriers and lawns separating the lanes,
• exceeding the speed limit by 11-30 km/h,
• creating an emergency.

3 points are deducted for:

• illegal transfer of numbers to other people,
• driving against traffic on a one-way street,
• driving in the opposite lane,
• exceeding the speed limit by 31-50 km/h

For gross violations:

• exceeding the speed limit by 51-80 km/h
• drunk driving.

If you lose your driver's license for the first time for 6 months, you can restore your rights ahead of schedule, after 3 months. To do this, you need to pass an exam at the Traffic Police. If you do not want to take the exam early, your rights will automatically be restored after 6 months.

If the deprivation of rights is repeated, passing both the theoretical and practical exams for knowledge of traffic rules is inevitable.

The legislator has foreseen such a situation. Without waiting for the deprivation of all 9 points, the driver can pass the exam in the Traffic Police, confirming your knowledge and getting 2 extra points.
