if supposing a p plate commits a demerit point offense on march 15, and licence only becomes 1 year old in april 3, when the letter comes, will the point deduction start at the day of the offense or the the day of the processing.


after april 3rd, how much points will one have now that the driver is no longer a p plate?


what about on 4th april 2016 if theres no other points accumulated?


when would the other 12 point kick in?


thanks in advance.

Supercharged

from my understanding, the deduction takes effect from the day of processing.

 

since offense is committed while driver is under probation, he/she will not get the additional 12 points when probation ends.

 

so he/she will be stuck with the remaining points until 1 yr after his/her offense to get back the points..

What TS wanted to know is if its after april, he will have 24 pts so if the offience is 6 pts. He will still have 18 pts left.

But if its base on the offence date, he will only be left with 6 pts hence he is asking.

I'm curious to know the answer too.

Should be from the date of offence.

Award of demerit points

3.—(1)  Where a licence holder  —

(a)is convicted of a scheduled offence; or

(b)pays a sum of money to compound a scheduled offence he is reasonably suspected to have committed,

the Deputy Commissioner of Police shall award against that holder the demerit points specified in the Schedule for that scheduled offence.

(1A)  Where the scheduled offence referred to in paragraph (1) is an offence listed in item (1)(a) to (e), (2)(a) to (e), (25), (26) or (27) of the Schedule, and the scheduled offence is committed, or is reasonably suspected to have been committed, in a school zone by a licence holder, the Deputy Commissioner of Police may award against the holder concerned one demerit point in addition to the demerit points awarded under paragraph (1).

(2)  Any demerit points awarded under paragraph (1) or (1A) shall take effect from the date on which the scheduled offence is committed or, in the case where the offence is compounded, on which the scheduled offence is reasonably suspected to have been committed.

(3)  The Deputy Commissioner of Police shall keep a register setting out the names and other particulars of all licence holders who have been awarded demerit points.

 

Suspension of driving licence

4.—(1)  The Deputy Commissioner of Police may suspend, for a period not exceeding 36 months, the driving licence of any person who has been awarded within a period of 24 months a total number of 24 or more demerit points.

(2)  Subject to paragraph (3), where the driving licence of a person has been suspended or is liable to suspension under paragraph (1), then notwithstanding paragraph (1), whenever subsequently such person has been awarded within a period of 12 months a total number of 12 or more demerit points, the Deputy Commissioner of Police may suspend the driving licence of that person for a period not exceeding 36 months.

(3)  Paragraph (2) shall not apply where the person referred to in that paragraph does not commit any scheduled offence for a period of 24 consecutive months subsequent to the date his licence is liable to suspension or the date of expiry of the suspension or the date of expiry of the period for which he is disqualified by an order of court made on or after 1st March 1983 from holding or obtaining a driving licence, as the case may be.

(4)  In calculating the number of demerit points which will render such person’s driving licence liable to suspension under paragraph (1) or (2), only such demerit points shall be taken into account as have been awarded against that person within a total period of 24 consecutive months or 12 consecutive months, as the case may be, calculated from the date of the first award of demerit points within that period and all demerit points awarded before that period shall be disregarded.
