How is the start date of the driver's license demerit point cycle calculated?

[IsabellaFitz]

Demerit point cycles are calculated from the date the driver's license was obtained. For example, if the license was obtained on November 4th, then November 4th of the following year marks the end of one demerit point cycle. Below are relevant details about the demerit point cycle: 1. Demerit point rules: If the accumulated demerit points within a cycle do not reach 12, and all fines are paid before the cycle ends, the system will automatically reset the points to zero at the start of the next cycle. Any unpaid fines will carry over the demerit points to the next cycle, where they will accumulate further. If the total exceeds 12 points, the driver will need to undergo training to clear the points. 2. Importance of the demerit point cycle: If all points are deducted within a cycle, the driver must retake training courses. Since demerit points result from traffic violations, it is crucial to obey traffic rules not only to protect one's license points but also to ensure personal safety.
