[Fortress]

[At07]

Need to know the prize so that I can have some celebration...Am i the first one winning it? Over score by 3...

[Contax]

you win liao...I mean , didn't you learn from it previously when you got caught?

It's already so difficult to get a driving license here , beside the money and time spent ,the procedure of going through it is also one hell of a experience....

 

I just couldn't believe you're so careless and reckless on the road.

[At07]

Ha Ha...this have to be constant effort of trying and trying and trying your best to excel the limit! Eager to find out the prize now!

[Chucky2007]

If "constant effort of trying and trying and trying your best to excel the limit!" means speeding like nobody's business, and the 24 demerit points are accumulated thru speeding.. then i would seriously applauded the police for getting a potential road hazard o ff the road

[Contax]

Good luck to you bro.

Bro , you should or will be recieving your letter from the TP if you have score more than 24points soon.

Here's some information .

 

http://driving-in-singapore.spf.gov.sg/ser.../dips/about.htm

 

What is DIPS?

 

The Road Traffic Driver Improvement Points System (DIPS) was introduced in March 1983.

This system was designed to identify high-risk motorists or habitual offenders and to stop them from driving for a specified period of time. The system also requires recalcitrant offenders to re-sit and pass a driving test before they are allowed to drive again.

 

How does DIPS operate?

 

DIPS allows a driver to accumulate less than 24 demerit points within 24 months before he becomes liable for suspension. If a driver has been suspended before, he will only be allowed to accumulate less than 12 demerit points within 12 months.

 

A first time suspension will last three months. Subsequent suspensions may be up to three years.

 

Where the suspension period lasts a year or longer, the motorist will have his licence revoked and will have to re-sit and pass all the tests in order to be allowed to drive again. A new driver's licence will be revoked if he accumulates 13 or more demerit points within a period of 12 months from the date his licence is obtained.

 

A person shall not be allowed to take a test of competence to drive any class of vehicle

 

(a) during the period of suspension of a licence, whether for the same or for a different class of licence held by him;

 

(b) during the period for which he has been disqualified from holding or obtaining a licence, whether for the same or for a different class of licence; or

 

© within the period of one year from the date of the revocation of a licence, whether for the same or for a different class of licence held by him.

 

A motorist who maintains a 12-month free of offences with demerit points from the date of his last offence, will have all his previous points cancelled from his record. Those who maintain a 24-month period free of offences with demerit points from the date of expiry of the last suspension, will also have all previous suspensions cancelled from their records.

 

 

So now it's depending on the outcome of your court case liao...

[Sony]

Just have to re-take your highway code and test....and wait for the expiry date.

 

 

next thing we know, someone will ask what's the prize for having an expired Advanced Theory

[Sony]

Call TP up. They shd give you an instant answer.

 

Asking on the forum is too slow.

 

and you got people like us replying all the wrong things.

 

BTW, do share with us on the prize which come in a form of commendation letter.

[Contax]

sigh....sincerely hope the TS will learn from it.
