The Knesset Economic Committee approved an amendment to traffic regulations reducing the validity period for demerit points from two years to one year for offenses carrying up to six points. Offenses of eight or ten points remain valid for two years, according to the committee vote.
The Knesset Economic Committee on Monday approved an amendment to traffic regulations shortening the validity period for demerit points from two years to one year for offenses carrying up to six points. The change was pushed by Transport Minister Miri Regev, as The Zioneer reported moments earlier. Offenses of eight or ten points, which include more serious violations, will remain valid for two years.
The amendment is part of a broader package of traffic-law updates the committee is advancing. Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir reacted with an "OK" hand gesture on social media following the vote.
It remains unclear when the amendment will take effect.
