If new drivers accumulate 6 points, what is the required action?

When new drivers in Ontario accumulate 6 demerit points, the law requires that they attend an interview regarding potential license suspension. This action is part of the graduated licensing system, which is designed to help ensure that new drivers are adhering to safe driving practices. The interview provides an opportunity for the driver to discuss their driving record and understand the consequences of accumulating points.

The other options do not address the specific requirement that is triggered by reaching 6 demerit points. For instance, while completing a defensive driving course might be beneficial for improving driving skills, it is not a mandated requirement when reaching this threshold. Paying a fine or undergoing a vehicle inspection are not related to the demerit point system and do not serve as corrective measures for accumulating points. Therefore, the interview serves as a critical step in addressing the driver’s record and guiding them towards safer driving behavior.
