Recital 33 a (new)
Recital 33 a (new)
(33a) Non-financial penalties such as demerit point systems have a strong deterrent effect and can improve road safety. It can reduce collisions and deaths when coupled with increased enforcement and effective follow-up and communication campaigns. Considering the latter, the European Commission should encourage Member States to set up and implement a demerit point system for at least the major road safety-related offences in the scope of this Directive as the first step towards a gradual approach to the cross-border recognition of non- financial penalties.
