10.3.3 Driving license card cut
The clipping card scheme was introduced on 1 September 2005 and entails: A new driver's license will be revoked if the driver accumulates two clippings within the first three years of acquiring the license. The two clips result in a sentence called a driving ban. A driving ban means that the driver must pass a driving test again, including a theory test, according to a lesson plan which must also occur in chronological order by date. A driver's license clip is valid for three years, meaning that a clip can still be valid even after the driver has undergone re-acquisition. Once the first three years have passed (after the driver received their license for the very first time), an accumulation of three clips within the next three years will trigger a conditional or unconditional disqualification. A driver can get a clip on their license, e.g., for an offense such as exceeding the speed by more than 30%. An unconditional disqualification occurs, e.g., for exceeding the speed by more than 100% (but having driven at least 100 km/h).
