Demerit Point System :
Let's say you have 0 points on 1st January 2009, and you committed the offence of 'Failing to Put On Seat Belt'.

So now, you will have 3 demerit points and this will last for one Year.
If during this one year you have no demerit point offences at all, your 3 demerit points will be gone on 1/1/2010.

But, if during this one year, from 1/1/2009 to 1/1/2010, you commit another offence with demerit points, your very first offence will be extended for another year until 1/1/2011.

Wow wtf.....the price to pay is definitely higher compared to the past.

i got an kenyan driver's licence.. is it valid to drive in Singapore????

can they fine me if i drive with my african licence??

If the traffic fines go up, does that mean income tax will go down ?

tax hike / "fees" imposed = obvious effect of economic breakdown. prepare for more

i dunno i never paid any taxes!!
