How many points until you can’t drive?

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
