Red-White-Red Card Points Calculator Austria

In Austria, the Red-White-Red Card system tracks traffic violations that affect your driving record. Each violation adds points to your record, and exceeding certain thresholds can lead to penalties. This calculator helps you track your points and understand how traffic violations impact your driving privileges.

How the Red-White-Red Card System Works

The Red-White-Red Card system is Austria's way of tracking traffic violations. Each violation is assigned a certain number of points, and these points accumulate on your driving record. The system helps authorities monitor driving behavior and enforce penalties when thresholds are exceeded.

Point Categories

Violations are categorized based on their severity:

Red Cards: Serious violations that add the most points (typically 6-12 points).
White Cards: Moderate violations that add fewer points (typically 3-5 points).
Red Cards: Less serious violations that add the fewest points (typically 1-2 points).

Point Thresholds

Exceeding certain point thresholds can lead to penalties:

12 Points: License suspension for 1 month.
18 Points: License suspension for 3 months.
24 Points: License suspension for 6 months.
30 Points: License suspension for 12 months.

Points are valid for 3 years. After this period, they are automatically removed from your record.

Penalties for Exceeding Points

When you exceed the point thresholds, the following penalties apply:

12 Points: License suspension for 1 month and a fine of €100.
18 Points: License suspension for 3 months and a fine of €200.
24 Points: License suspension for 6 months and a fine of €300.
30 Points: License suspension for 12 months and a fine of €400.

Additional penalties may apply depending on the specific violation. Always check the official Austrian traffic regulations for the most current information.
