The jacked-up fines and penalties for traffic offences may have
nothing to do with the ongoing government pay hikes but will have
an impact on you if you don't exercise due diligence in your
driving!
NEW Price List from TP...
Be careful on the road. It's not cheap. Price increase without
further notice.

As for Demerit Point system:
Let ' s say you have 0 points on 1st January 2005, 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 1 Year. If during
this 1 year you have no demerit points offence at all, your 3
demerit points will be gone on 1/1/2006. But, if during this one
year, From 1/1/2005 - 1/1/2006, you committed another offence with
demerit points, your very first offence will be extended for
another year until 1/1/2007.
