How is the driver's license demerit clearance date calculated?
1 Answers
The driver's license demerit clearance date is calculated based on the initial issuance date of the driver's license. If demerit points incurred during the scoring period are not accompanied by paid fines, the demerit records will carry over to the next scoring cycle. According to the regulations on the application and use of motor vehicle driver's licenses, the cumulative scoring cycle for traffic violations is 12 months, with a maximum of 12 points, calculated from the date of initial issuance of the motor vehicle driver's license. Based on the severity of road traffic violations, single infractions can result in 12, 6, 3, 2, or 1 demerit points. If a driver's accumulated points do not reach 12 within a scoring cycle and all fines have been paid, the demerit points will be cleared.
