🇬🇧 Endorse meaning: English Vocabulary Flash Card

To endorse a driving licence means that the police or a court officially write down on a person’s driving licence that they drove in a wrong or dangerous way, like speeding or driving through a red light. The endorsed points are a record of the bad driving, and if someone gets too many, they can lose their licence and not be allowed to drive for a while.
