If you had demerit points on your driving record before this new law started, don’t worry. Those points will still count under the new law. The government will move them over to the new system. It’s like your demerit points are moving from an old house to a new one, but they’re still yours. This way, the points you had before will still matter and be counted just like they were before the change.
