How are demerit points notified to drivers?

Demerit points are notified to drivers through mail via a notification from the police. This process is designed to ensure that drivers receive official documentation detailing the demerit points incurred due to traffic violations. The notification typically includes information about the specific offense, the points assigned, and any potential consequences or next steps for the driver.

Using traditional mail as the method for notification helps to maintain a formal record and allows drivers to have a physical copy of the information for their records. It also ensures that the driver is adequately informed of their driving status, including any need for potential remedial actions if the points accumulated reach a certain threshold, which could lead to further penalties or license suspension.

Other methods, such as phone calls or emails, are not utilized for this purpose. While vehicle registration updates may reflect changes in driving status, they do not serve as an official notification mechanism for demerit points. This structured approach to communication helps ensure clarity and consistency in how demerit points are managed within the licensing system.
