Do. it again and lose your licence for six months. In this province, it definitely pays a driver to score.a big fat zero. Ontario's demerit point -system is • designed to convince the poor‘. ' driver to drive properly. ,Drivers who do not,,irnprove are the- -- taken from the road because they're a menace to pedestrians and to other drivers. But the system is not at all unjust. It's 4.im.ed at telling the driver where he's gone wrong and - giving him plenty of time, to cor- rect his faults. L . For'instance, When you've accumulated six point's, you'll.be notified and urged to-iprove your driving. ' When you've got nine, you'll prob- ably be asked to attend a private . interview and re -do your driving test, At fifteen points, you'll• lose your ' • licence for thirty days and drop ., back to seven points. Get fifteen again 'and you won't drive for six months. However, your record won't be indelibly marked.
