OUG* - Article 103

(1) The suspension of the exercise of the right to drive motor vehicles, agricultural or forestry tractors or trams operates:
a) for a period of 30 days, if the holder of the driving licence has committed contraventions which accumulate 15 penalty points;
b) for a period of 60 days, if the holder of the driving licence accumulates again at least 15 penalty points in the next 12 months from the date of expiry of the last suspension of the exercise of the right to drive.
[...]
(4) The penalty points are cancelled at the completion of the term of 6 months from the date of finding the contravention. In the situation in which a complaint has been filed against the report of finding and sanctioning the contravention by which any of the penalty points that lead to the achievement of the accumulation provided in paragraph (1) letter a) and b) were applied, the running of the cancellation term is suspended by right for all the penalty points that compose it, from the date of registration of this complaint with the court until the date of the final decision of the court by which the court rejected the contravention complaint or admitted it in part, maintaining the applied complementary contravention sanction. The suspension of the exercise of the right to drive resumes by right starting at 00.00 of the day following the one in which the driving licence was handed over, after the final decision of the court by which the court rejected the complaint filed against the report of finding and sanctioning the contravention or admitted it in part, maintaining the applied complementary contravention sanction, but no later than 30 days from the date of the final decision of the court. In the case in which the offender does not hand over the driving licence within this term, the duration of the suspension of the exercise of the right to drive is increased by right by 30 days, without fulfilling any other formality. The provisions of art. 118 paragraph (4^1) and (4^2) apply accordingly.
(5) The suspension of the exercise of the right to drive provided in paragraph (1) letter a) and b) cancels all the penalty points accumulated up to that moment.
