What is changing under the new system?
Starting April 1, 2026, penalty points for traffic violations will also be calculated using data captured by automated photo and video recording systems.
This means that violations detected by road cameras will now be included in a driver’s total penalty point record.
How is this different from the previous system?
Previously, penalty points were only assigned when violations were recorded by traffic police officers. With the updated legislation, offenses captured by roadside cameras will also count toward penalty points.
The change is designed to increase driver responsibility and reduce the number of violations on the roads.
Who will receive the penalty points?
A new mechanism for assigning penalty points has also been introduced. If a vehicle is driven by someone other than its registered owner—based on a power of attorney, insurance policy, or travel document—the penalty points may be assigned directly to the person who committed the violation.
What is the goal of these changes?
The reform aims to strengthen road discipline, ensure fair distribution of responsibility, and reduce the number of traffic violations.
By expanding the use of automated monitoring systems, authorities expect to improve overall road safety.
