Licences and demerit pointsQuestion 20 of 318

A driver renews a driver’s licence. What happens to the demerit points on the record?

  1. The SAAQ erases half of them
  2. The SAAQ erases all of them
  3. The SAAQ erases the oldest points
  4. The SAAQ erases none of them
Show answer

Correct answer: The SAAQ erases none of them

Renewing a licence does not erase demerit points. Points also stay after a first licence or a new licence after a revocation.
