A driver has 30 demerit points subject to disposition. These points are cancelled once a certain period passes from the last violation without any violation or accident. What is that period?
💡 Hint
The period after which disposition points expire is set according to whether the disposition points are under 40 (Table 28 of the Enforcement Rule of the Road Traffic Act). The period over which demerit points are accumulated and the expiry period are different concepts, so do not mix them up.
Answer: ②
Explanation
Under the general criteria in Annex 28 of the Enforcement Rule, when the disposition points are under 40, they are cancelled once 1 year passes from the last violation or accident without any further violation or accident. Three years is the period over which cumulative points are tracked, not the cancellation period.
