Which statement about demerit points based on the outcome of a traffic accident caused while driving a motor vehicle etc. is correct?
💡 Hint
Demerit points based on accident results are divided into death, serious injury, minor injury, and reported injury, each with its own diagnosis period and points per person (Appendix 28 of the Enforcement Rule). Precisely distinguish the time limit for counting a death and the boundaries of the diagnosis periods (3 weeks, 5 days).
Answer: ③
Explanation
Under Annex 28, 3.B.(1) of the Enforcement Rule, a diagnosis of less than 3 weeks but at least 5 days of treatment is a minor injury at 5 points per person. A death counts as 90 points only if it occurs within 72 hours of the accident, a serious injury (3 weeks or more) is 15 points, and a reported injury (under 5 days) is 2 points, so the other options are wrong.
