Since the introduction of the penalty points system in Uzbekistan, traffic violations by drivers have decreased by 41%. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
The information was provided by the Traffic Safety Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The penalty points system came into effect on June 1, 2024.
Within the first three months, nearly 69 thousand drivers received penalty points. Of these, 63.9 thousand had between 0.5 and 1 point, 4,976 had up to two points, and 189 received three points.
Additionally, four points were assigned to 14 drivers, and five points to 4 drivers. At the same time, 9.3 million drivers did not receive any penalty points at all.
