At twelve points a three- month licence suspension wvill be mandatory. When the period of suspen- sion bas been served the driver will then be reinstated without points against his record. He will. however, receive a sus- pension of six months, ratherý than three. if he accumulates a further twelve points within a one-year period of licence reinstatement. A responsible driver bias nb-. thing to fear under the Points system. It would be necessary to have six convictions carrying two points each in a two-year period to receive the mandatory suspension of three months. Two years fromi the date of a con- viction carrying demerit points, those points are deducted from the driver's record. Driver, rather than owner, identification, must be estab- lished for appropriate action to be taken. The new demerit points system is a positive for- ward step in identifying the chronic violators and in taking constructive corrective mea- sures. As an integral part of the Highway Safety Program it seeks to correct those with bad driving habits, thereby making the streets and high- ways safer for pedestrians ai-d motor vehicle operators alike.
