More than 24,000 Czech drivers had licences revoked in 2009

More than 24,000 Czech drivers had their licences revoked last year due to frequent offences, the daily Právo reported on Friday. They amassed 12 or more penal points; under the drivers point system introduced in 2006, they are automatically banned from driving for one year. More than 95 percent of the offenders were men, the daily said. Another 4,000 drivers are just a point short of having their licences revoked.
