In the past two years, 9,721 drivers were disqualified from holding a driving licence for three months, and 1,419 drivers were disqualified for six months under the Road Traffic (Driving-Offence Points) Ordinance.
The Transport Department publishes a booklet on "How the Driving- Offence Points System Affects You". This is available free of charge from Government publications outlets as well as from the Transport Department licensing offices. The booklet describes the objectives of the scheme, the offences which incur penalty points, and the method of calculation. When a motorist has incurred eight penalty points, a warning letter is issued to him by the Transport Department.

Recycling of waste materials
Following is a question by the Hon Eric Li Ka-cheung and a written reply by the Secretary for Planning, Environment and Lands, Mr Tony Eason, in the Legislative Council today (Wednesday):
Question:
The waste paper recycling projects have been implemented by the Government for some time. According to experience gained in foreign countries in the recycling of waste materials, glass ware and plastic products are included in addition to waste paper. In this regard, will the Government inform this Council whether the recycling projects will be expanded to include glass and plastic products; if so, when these projects will be implemented, how the waste materials will be collected, and what the estimated administration cost will be, if not, why not?
Reply:
Mr President,
At present, we have no plans to extend the waste paper recycling projects in government departments to include glass and plastic products because waste paper is the major type of waste arising from government offices.
