In 2020, the list of offences under Subrule 4(1) of the Motor Vehicles (Demerit Points) Rules 2017 was reduced to 20 offences considered under the implementation of the demerit points system. These removed offences involve driving under the influence of alcohol and breath specimen tests showing alcohol levels exceeding the allowed limit, which must be brought to court for consideration and judgment by a Magistrate.
The implementation of the demerit points system for driving license holdersinvolves several levels of penalties as follows:

First suspension (6 to 8 months)– 20 accumulated points
Second suspension (8 to 10 months)– 20 or more accumulated points
Third suspension (10 to 12 months)– 20 or more accumulated points
Fourth and subsequent suspensions (10 to 12 months)– 20 or more accumulated points
