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.
I received it also... cute!
