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.
