Two rules will be implemented initially from the list of grading drivers
Department Motor Traffic has informed that the driver improvement points system will be implemented from today the 1st of January 2013. It is now reported that only two rules will be implemented initially from the list passed out recently. Accordingly, 12 points for the drunkard drivers and 12 points for a severe/fatal road accident will be first implemented. The driving license has to be renewed once in every two years and if the driver has got below 18 marks, it can be renewed easily with the permission of the Commissioner of Motor Traffic.
Drivers who get point’s between18-23 can get their driver’s license renewed after having taken permission of the commissioner of Motor Traffic., whereas the driving license of the drivers who obtain points more than 23 will be suspended for a period of a year. It is also reported that if a driver gets less than 24 points in two years and if he doesn’t get any points in the following year as well, 6 marks will be deducted from his total in the third year and then if he doesn’t get marks consecutively, all his points will be cancelled.
Therefore, getting caught by driving after drinking alcohol or after a severe fatal accident in two years could be a cause to cancel the driving license.
These rules and regulations were passed as a bill by the Parliament in March last year and even though it was planned to implement them this year, since there are technical difficulties such as improving digital connections between Police stations. Therefore the whole system is only limited to two offences until technology is developed. Therefore, the government has taken action to implement only the two rules first
