Hello, The feedback received thus far has been helpful and I am wondering about when demerits are applied, and how with the graduated licensing system. Given that it can be months between a charge being laid and a conviction, or a plea deal being agreed upon, are demerits applied only after conviction? Does it matter if a driver was charged while holding a G2 when charges were laid, and then achieved a G before the matter was settled in court? Will the demerits be applied to the G and treated as any other G driver? 4 points on a G1 and G2 lead to a suspension, and with a G they do not...so it can matter a great deal when plea bargaining and weighing options. When a driver does a road test for the G does the examiner know about pending charges? Do pending charges exclude a driver from doing the test? Thank you.

Demerit points last 2 years and are calculated from the day you were charged, NOT the day of your potential conviction. They are not on your abstract till a conviction, but will remain 2 years from the day you initially received your ticket. If it takes 6 months for a conviction, you will only see your demerit points for a year and a half. Anyone who has a valid license on the day of their driving test is eligible to complete their road examinations, whether there's a pending trial or not.

Thank you. With the novice driver escalating sanctions program, will the G driver's license be suspended for 30 days then? The way the G2 would have been. Also am I understanding it properly that with the program, after the suspension is served, there are no demerits attached to the license? Would this also hold true if a G was obtained before conviction?

I have a lot of issues with the idea that speed measuring devices like radar and lidar guns are using computer generated simulations to test themselves that they are working properly. The manufacturer is making a claim that a device can test itself. Where's the proof that it works?
