A system to educate drivers and riders a new penalty points system introduced.
An act has been passed in Parliament to reduce the actions of law breaking drivers and riders, last Thursday, that if a driver or a rider disobeys the new rules he/she would have to forego the license for a period of one year if 24 points are accumulated according to the mistakes on road ethics committed. A new license has to be applied according to laid down procedures obtained according to the procedures laid after the period of one has lapsed.
Accordingly points accumulated are scrutinized at the end of each year. According to this system the license has to be renewed every two years. If the points are below the range of 18 that need does not arise. Those who have been penalized for 18-23 points, the existing license is to be cancelled for a period of one year. However in addition to this point’s system spot fining for offenders will not continue in addition to the new points system implemented. This is an advantage for drivers who make offences.
This system once implemented would also be computerized simultaneously. What is appended below is how the penalty points are added for different types of offences.
The manner points are added for mistakes/offences committed by divers/riders:
1. Not attempting for prevention of an accident (penalty points 6)
2. Driving fast at vulnerable points ( penalty points 8)
