what is NTSA smart driving license ? These are new digital driving licenses fitted with a secure computer chip that will store a driver’s data, it will also contain the driver’s KRA PIN, a national ID Number and Blood Group.
HOW THE DIGITAL LICENSE WILL WORK
the new digital driving license is designed like an ATM card, with a microchip loaded with 20 deductable points.
These points are deducted and replenished according to the driver’s driving habits and offences, for example, a minor offence such as overtaking illegally will have one point deducted while drunk driving will lead to 10 points being deducted. One point lost can be regained within a week if the driver does not commit any other road traffic offence.
