The Road Safety Service has announced that its officers issued 399,269 administrative warnings for minor traffic violations during the reporting period, although it did not specify the timeframe covered by the data.
The most common reasons for issuing warnings included driving without a seat belt, using a mobile phone while driving, watching videos behind the wheel, speeding, violating parking and stopping regulations, failing to comply with traffic rules, and crossing roads outside designated pedestrian crossings.
According to the agency’s spokesperson Zoyir Yuldoshev, a person may receive an administrative warning only once within a calendar year.
"As of today, 671 people have accumulated more than 12 penalty points. Under the current rules, exceeding this threshold results in the suspension of the driver's license for a period of no less than six months," he said.
The first driver to exceed the 12-point limit was reported in early May. At that time, another 11 drivers had accumulated between 8 and 10 points, most of them in Tashkent and Surkhandarya region. By mid-May, the number of drivers with at least 12 penalty points had surpassed 100.
Since April 1, penalty points have also been assigned for violations detected by automated photo and video enforcement systems. Previously, points were issued only when a traffic officer prepared an official violation report.
How the penalty points system works
President Shavkat Mirziyoyev signed the law introducing the penalty points system in February 2025. Drivers receive up to two points for each violation, with the points remaining valid for one year from the date of the offense. Accumulating more than 12 points can lead to the suspension of driving privileges for at least six months.
The system came into force on June 1. Penalty points apply to 14 categories of traffic violations, ranging from 0.5 points for offenses such as defective brakes or steering, violations of vehicle window tinting rules, or speeding by less than 20 km/h, to two points for driving into oncoming traffic or exceeding the speed limit by 60 km/h.
Drivers can check their penalty points through the E-jarimaball module or a dedicated mobile application. An SMS warning is automatically sent once a driver reaches eight points.
According to the Road Safety Service, during the first three months of the system's operation, 63,900 drivers received between 0.5 and one penalty point. Another 4,976 accumulated up to two points, while 189 reached three points. Fourteen drivers received four points, and four accumulated five points.
