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.

Just say you want to lao sai, need to jump out of car once you reach petrol station's toilet, so cannot put on safety belt 'cause it will impede your rush to run to the toilet and hence increase your chance of soiling your pants.iScoupe;441657 said:This morning 9:45am, i slowly pull safety belt while a TP bike stop besides me... si bei heng !

JLMC;441668 said:base on this stupid system, comes a stupid question, and a stupid answer
it will be 12 + 3 = 15 pts, it means
a) LTA send letter to you abt this new offence
b) LTA request you to go for a "talk" abt road safety
c) yr 15 pts will ONLY be cleared on 1/May 2011
robot, I think u better think twice abt that 325 cabrio liao!

Ganna caught by the red light camera in front of Maxwell Market junction. Was turning into Maxwell Road from South Bridge Road.
wa lao, no one answer my question yet leh. Ok, I give another example:
1) Awarded 12 points on 2 June 2009, today.
2) Awarded another 3 points, six months down the road, on Christmas Day, 25 December 2009.
3) So now I have total of 15 demerit points. Tio boh?
According to JLMC and iscoupe, the 15 points will be gone on 25 December 2010.
But my intepretation is that the first 12 points will only be gone on 2 June 2011. The second 3 points will only be gone on 25 December 2011.
Who is correct?
