Totting Up
Most traffic violations carry penalty points rather than a disqualification. In today’s society we are required to drive more and more and, unfortunately, this makes it increasingly difficult to maintain a driving licence, which is free of penalty points.
When a driver’s licence is endorsed with penalty points, and the number of penalty points to be taken into account at the relevant point number twelve or more, the Court must order the driver to be disqualified for a minimum period.
Points are relevant from the date of offence to offence and not from the date of conviction. This means that delaying the Court’s process by dragging the matter out will not avoid a disqualification under the “totting up” regime.
