The plan entails the reactivation of
the Traffic Point System No. 31 of 2018, promulgated pursuant to Article 52 (a)
of the Traffic Act No. 49 of 2008, following the completion of electronic
connections of all the control and information systems of security centers and
patrols, to ensure that traffic points are calculated in accordance with the
provisions of the law.
The traffic point system entails
placing points in the registry of the driver who commits a traffic violation
referred to in Article 5 of the system.
The registry contains a file for
each driver that records traffic points, the number of suspensions and
extensions of the driver's license and information about traffic violations and
accidents committed by the driver.
PSD stressed on Saturday that no
fees or expenses will be imposed as a result of the application of this system,
except for those provided for in the traffic law.
The system provides for the suspension
of the license of a driver who has more than 16 registered traffic points per
year. If less than 16 points are registered within a year, they will be automatically
deleted at the end of the year.
According to Deputy-Director of
Public Security Directorate Anwar Al-Kharabsheh, traffic violations that are
subject to the traffic point system are those caught by traffic police,
according to Ammon News.
Kharabsheh said that free, optional,
training courses are held once a year at the Jordan Traffic Institute, in all
regions of the Kingdom, to write off eight points for drivers who reach 15
points in a year, in order to prevent suspending the driver’s license.
All traffic officers have been
provided with electronic devices that enable them to access drivers' databases
and the cumulative number of points calculated against them, in order to take
appropriate measures against any driver who commits a serious violation in a
timely manner, according to Kharabsheh.
