The penalty points system applies in respect of the offences of breaching a speed limit, motor insurance, the failure of a driver to wear a seat belt or to ensure that a passenger under 17 years of age are appropriately restrained in a mechanically propelled vehicle, and careless driving. The full application of the penalty points system will be achieved when the relevant IT systems being developed by the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform and the Garda are completed.
