At 10 a.m., a driver was caught driving a passenger car 25 km/h over the speed limit in a school zone (no accident). How many demerit points are imposed?
💡 Hint
Speeding and certain other violations in a school zone between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. carry double demerit points (Note 4 of Appendix 28 of the Enforcement Rule). First find the basic points for the speed-excess bracket, then check whether the time of day meets the condition for doubling.
Answer: ③
Explanation
Speeding by more than 20 and up to 40 km/h is 15 points under Annex 28, 3.A, item 15. However, note 4 doubles the points when this is done in a school zone between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., so it is 30 points. 15 points would apply outside a school zone.
