DTSM ASSIGNMENT
1. The Demerit point system is a system when points are added to your driver’s license, when you are caught doing illegal actions while driving. On your driving record you don’t lose demerit points, you instead begin with zero and gain points depending on the illegal act. The points stay on your driving record for 2 years from the date you received it. The repercussions for gaining these demerit points reflect on how much you have on your driving record. With a full driver's license and you have two to eight points, you will be sent a warning letter. Nine to fourteen points your license could be suspended. When you end up with nine to fourteen points you may have to attend an interview to review your driving record. You will have to explain why you license should not be suspended. Fifteen points or more your license will be automatically suspended for thirty days. The consequences of new drivers are different when you add demerit points. From two to five points you will be sent a warning letter. Six to eight your license could be suspended and you may have to attend an interview.
Nine or more your license will be suspended for 60 days. In my opinion I find that the
Demerit system is smart and stupid at the same time. It is smart because it is a good way to track down the bad drivers, to help make the streets of Canada a better and more safer place. The stupid part about the system is that after the two years of having your demerit points, they get removed. This causes bad drivers to roam the streets again, creating more opportunities for accidents.
2. “Impaired driving means operating a vehicle (including cars, trucks, boats, snowmobiles and offroad vehicles) while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.”
Impaired driving is a crime in Canada and there are many consequences. You can lose your licence, have your vehicle impounded, need to pay an administrative monetary penalty, need to attend an education or treatment
