Under the new driving-offence points system, a
driver will incur more points the greater the margin by
which he exceeds the speed limit. The rate at which
points will be awarded will be: 3 points for exceeding
the limit by more than 15 kph, 5 points for exceeding the
limit by more than 30 kph and 8 points for exceeding the
limit by more than 45 kph. In each case the fixed penalty
for the offence will remain the same at $200.
Since under the new system, a driver who has
already incurred 8 points would proceed to
disqualification upon committing an offence involving
speeding in excess of 45 kph, section 7 (1) of the
principal Ordinance is amended to provide for the
Commissioner for Transport to notify a driver who has
incurred 8 or more driving-offence points of the number of
points he has incurred and the consequences of incurring
15 or more points in two years.
Sir, I move that the debate on this motion be
adjourned.
