New or probationary motorists (P-plate motorists) will have their driving licence revoked if they accumulate 13 or more demerit points during their 12-month probation period. They will also need to retake both the Traffic Police Theory and Practice Exam again to obtain their licence.
Do note that the driving test can only be retaken one year from the date of their licence revocation.
Non-probationary motorists with no previous suspension records who accumulate 24 or more demerit points within 24 months will have their driving licence suspended for up to 12 weeks.
Non-probationary motorists with previous suspension records who accumulate 12 or more demerit points within 12 months will have their driving licence suspended for up to 36 months.
Here is a table that summarises the suspension period for non-probationary motorists:
Suspensions | Suspension Period | Suspension Criteria |
1st Suspension | 12 weeks | 24 points or more within 24 months |
2nd Suspension | 24 weeks | 12 points or more within 12 months |
3rd Suspension | 12 months | |
4th Suspension | 24 months | |
5th Suspension (onwards) | 36 months |
