It's actually quite simple. All you do is accumulate fifteen demerit points and lose your licence for thirty days. 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 improve are then 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 aimed at telling the driver where he's gone wrong and giving him plenty of time to cor- rect his faults. For instance. When you've accumulated six points, you'll be notified and urged to improve 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. If you drive for two years without a traffic con- viction your points are erased and your slate is clean.
