If you want to be a hero and fight the court case yourself, and you lose,

you pay the court charges yourself, which will add to your fine.

Demerit Point System:

Let's say you have 0 points on 1st January 2009, and you committed the

offence of 'Failing to Put On Seat Belt'.

 

So now, you will have 3 demerit points and this will last for one Year.

If during this one year you have no demerit point offences at all, your 3

demerit points will be gone on 1/1/2010.

 

But, if during this one year, from 1/1/2009 to 1/1/2010, you commit

another offence with demerit points, your very first offence will be

extended for another year until 1/1/2011.

Just do not hold your hp when the car is in motion.

Are you sure new price? Compare to the last few years, it is the same....

[Nhrisuzu]

Compounded means you may get it back.

 

Confiscated means confirm cannot get back.

Hey guys & gals! Dunno much about all this sort of thing, this is just something someone forwarded to my inbox, so I thought I'd share the information here. But here's something strange:

 

Fail to signal when changing lanes = $70 Fine

Obstructed or obscured number plate = $70 Fine

Number plate of unapproved type = $70 Fine

No number plate = $70 Fine

 

 

How can something so serious (i.e. no number plate) be fined at the same amount as something as trivial as failing to signal when changing lanes? Inconsistant!

[SupperTime]

Hmmm...

 

Number plate of unapproved type = $70 Fine

 

So if i want to change my plate to carbon fiber or chrome its only 70$... but shouldnt this include europlate as well ? seems like that is an unapproved type but ive heard alot worse fines for that.

[Rtth84]

is sticker number plate counted as approved type?

to be very precise

 

ALL the following 3 conditions must be fulfilled:

 

(a) the vehicle is in motion; and

 

(b) the driver is holding on to the handphone with one hand; and

 

© the driver is communicating with any person with that handphone.

Nope......... partly cos of the smaller fonts

So.. if say choke up 24 pts already, is your license suspended or is it revoked? Or it is up to the TP's discretion?

Suspended for 3 months unless you go for the 1 day retraining session which will reduce it to 4 weeks.

 

P.S. this is for accumulated points.

What if u kena the worst of the worst offence? The speeding and reckless driving one? Also same as suspend 3 months?

[Wanderer]

I dun think so............. this step will only come in when he hit the 25th point. So he can still drive around with 0 points

 

But damn stress

Their up to 24 points is very misleading.

IIRC, the first depends on your speed, the 2nd is just via the points system unless its a repeat offence, then its not a suspension, but a revocation.
