Demerit points accumulated will remain on your driver’s record for a period of how may years from the date of offence?

One year.
Three years.
Two years.
Five years.

The correct answer is: Two years.

While some may automatically assume that demerit points would remain on a driver's record for a shorter period of time, such as one year or even three years, the actual answer is two years. This means that any demerit points accumulated after a traffic violation will be visible to insurance and licence authorities for a two-year period. The incorrect options of one, three or five years may be distractors or assumptions based on different types of penalties or offences, but the correct answer is two years.
