Maybe we should learn this by heart:)
Now, keep in mind mind that if you are a P plater, you only have 6 demerit points, whereas, if you possess a full licence, you have 12. Also, if you do lose demerit points, it will take you 3 years to regain it/them back.

Now, take a close look at some of those offences, notice how gay some of them are?!?!?! Do you really want to get booked for that kind of crap??? Don't want to lose your licence over something stoopid and small. I got a friend who only had 1 point left and he got dicted cos he only had his park lights on, he forgot to put head lights on full. How gay is that, losing your licence over headlights. Hope this helps
