The Guardia Civil has brought a 25-year-old woman to court as the suspected perpetrator of a vehicle driving offence after her licence became invalid due to point loss after she drove her own automobile to take a written exam to reclaim her driving licence.
The Guardia Civil supports officers from the Provincial Traffic Headquarters during theoretical and practical exams via the Traffic Investigation and Analysis Groups (GIAT), which are part of the Traffic Department’s Road Safety Investigation Units, in order to “prevent and detect possible irregularities related to the conduct of these tests.”
During one of these surveillance operations, officers from the GIAT (Road Safety Investigation Unit) of the Granada Guardia Civil noticed that a woman who appeared to have ‘just entered the classroom where the exams were being held, and who had been summoned to take the written test that would allow her to recover her driving licence was the same woman they had seen arriving at the Provincial Traffic Headquarters driving a car’.
That’s why, after the exam, the Guardia Civil took her to court for allegedly committing a driving offence after her licence had become invalid due to point loss.
Total loss of points
If you have lost all of the points on your licence owing to point exhaustion, or if you have been convicted of a felony involving the deprivation of the right to drive a motor vehicle for more than two years, you may be eligible for a new licence.
To do so, after serving your sentence and successfully completing a 20-hour road safety awareness and re-education course (a course to recover your driver’s licence), you must pass a theoretical test at the Provincial Headquarters or Local Traffic Office.
