Are demerit points cumulative during the initial G1 period?

Demerit points are cumulative during the initial G1 period. This means that any demerit points you accumulate for traffic violations while you hold your G1 license will add up over time. It is important for new drivers to understand this because accumulating too many demerit points can lead to license suspension. The G1 licensing stage represents a learning phase, and the cumulative nature of demerit points emphasizes the importance of driving safely and obeying road rules as new drivers develop their skills.

In contrast, demerit points do not get reduced automatically after a period, and all violations typically contribute to the demerit point total regardless of their nature. This is why understanding the cumulative aspect of demerit points is crucial for G1 drivers. Accumulating points not only affects their current license status but also impacts their progression to obtaining a full G2 license.
