Your chances of getting your money back

The driving aptitude assessment system provides measures depending on the point level (§ 4 StVG): a caution, a warning and finally withdrawal of the driving license. At a low point level, a voluntary driving aptitude seminar can lead to reducing one point.

A point reduction through the seminar is only possible at a level of 1 to 5 points and at most once in five years. At 8 points the driving license is withdrawn.

Frequently asked questions

Can I reduce points with the driving aptitude seminar?

Yes, but only at a level of 1 to 5 points and at most once within five years can you reduce one point with it. At higher point levels a reduction through the seminar is no longer provided.

When is my driving license withdrawn?

The driving aptitude assessment system is graded: at 4 to 5 points a caution follows, at 6 to 7 points a warning and at 8 points the withdrawal of the driving license (§ 4 StVG). So there are warning tiers beforehand.

When are points deleted?

Points are deleted after fixed erasure periods that depend on the type of violation (two and a half, five or ten years). The periods run independently of one another. A point reduction through the seminar is additionally possible within narrow limits.
