Demerit Point System

New driver's license holders are issued a one-year probationary license that allows them a maximum of 12 demerit points in a year. Exceed this limit and you will loose your license. After the first year, demerit points allowable increased to 24 points over a 2-year period. Common demerit points:

Exceeding speed limit by up to 20kmh: 4
Exceeding speed limit by more than 40kmh: 12
Reckless driving: 12
Using a mobile phone while driving
Failing to stop at traffic lights: 6
Obstructing traffic flow: 4
Failing to wear seat belt: 3

YaoKuai SG

Well, booklet is a dead thing i guess, anything the TP insist, we also cannot do anything rite? =( but my info i copy right from the booklet wan, so maybe can TRY to argue wif "uncle" a bit when caught.

STOP or allow vehicle to remain at rest on shoulder of an expressway is 4pts

BUT

btw, the booklet never say cannot use tinted visor lerr, any idea about it?
