The point system is a method of evaluation or penalty where points are assigned based on specific actions or behaviors, such as traffic violations. In driving, for example, points are added to a driver's record for offenses. If the points accumulate beyond a certain threshold, the driver's license may be suspended or revoked. This system aims to discourage repeat offences and promote safer behavior by applying escalating penalties as points accumulate.
Beyond driving, a point system can refer more generally to any system that assigns points to evaluate performance, progress, or eligibility based on accumulated scores according to predefined rules.
The driving point system is a common example, involving:
- Assigning points for traffic offenses
- Keeping a record of points for each driver
- Applying penalties or suspensions when points exceed thresholds
- Points may be reduced over time or by completing training
Different jurisdictions have variations in how points are assigned and thresholds for penalties.
