1 1 to make It a More effective Means
0f improving driving behaviour,
"As was promised when the De
merit Point System was first in
trodugec1 in May, 1959, we hay(
made a complete study of the sys
tem and the results obtained with
a view to improving And streng-
thening the System and making it
even more effective. As a result
of these studies a tsumher of
Changes and additions have been
made which I shall now outline,”
rvlr. Rowantree stated,
These were the highlights of the
Changes announced,
Nine new offences which will
mean loss of points have been add.
ed,
Points have been increased for
12 of the present offences,
Instead of wiping off all the
Mints as at present the suspended
driver comes back on the road with
7 points, The first violation will
bring him back In for an inter-
view at which time he may be
again ssupended,
A conviction for failing to remain
under the Criminal Code which
new is assessed 9 points is remov-
ed from the Point System and
carries with it an automatic 3
months suspension. All other Crim-
inal . Code offences such as ability
impaired, dangerous driving, cri.
minas negligence, etc,, also have
been removed and will carry man-
datory suspensions of from 3
months to 2 years.
The
suspension levelhas been
p
raised from 12 to 15 points so as to
extend the opportunity to send ad-
visory letters and conduct inter-
views.These actions have proved
clearly effective in improving
driver performance, since less than
1% of, drivers warned and inter-
viewed 'proceeded to suspension
level.
All motorists reaching the 15
point level will be off the road for
1 month from the date the driver's
licence is surrendered. If a driver
accumulates 15 points a second
time within 2 years he will be sus-
pended for 6 months,
"It is not the purpose of the
Point System to suspend drivers,"
Mr. Rowantree added, "hut rather
to get at and improve the small
minority of motorists who seem to
.fall to appreciate the need for good
safe operating habits behind the
wheel, I am _confident that the
changes which are announced will
assist us in our efforts and will
benefit all users of the streets and
highways."
