A guide to understanding the
DEMERIT POINTS SYSTEM
Better drivers. Safer roads, WHAT IS THE
DEMERIT POINTS SYSTEM?
The Demerit Points System is utilised to track the
behaviour of drivers by the allocation of points to their
driving records, for the commission of certain trafic
violations and offences
Under the Motor Vehicles and Road Traffic Act, Ch.
48:50, the introduction of a Demerit Points System in
Trinidad and Tobago seeks to
1. Encourage and promote safety on the nation’s
road network:
2. Improve the standard of driving in Trinidad and
Tobago by reducing incidents of road traffic accidents
and fatalities:
3. Detect repeat trafic offenders; and
4. Reform delinquent drivers through enrolment into
rehabilitative driving programmes
