How are demerits awarded?

Every point exceeding 12 points results in a three month suspension of the license.
One point is reduced every three months if no further contraventions occur within the three month period.
A license is cancelled when it has been suspended for the third time.
The demerit points in respect of vehicle operators and drivers are recorded separately even if they arise out of the same incident.
Reduction of demerit points?
If demerit points have been incurred by an infringer, such total number of points as recorded in the national contraventions register on NaTIS against that person will be reduced with one (1) point for every three (3) months during which no demerit points were incurred by that person, except for the time the court found that the court process had been deliberately delayed by that person to obtain a reduction in points.
As per the above if the vehicle is found not to have the required safety equipment the driver/owner/operator of the vehicle in question can be fined up to R 4 500.00 by a Law Enforcement officer.
