INTRODUCTION

A motorists driving licence is liable for suspension upon the accumulation of 24 or more demerit points within a period of 24 months after his/her probation period has ended. Where the suspension period is one year or more, the motorist’s driving licence will be revoked. He/she must retake and pass both the theory and practical tests before he/she can drive again.
If you do not accumulate any more demerit points for a period of 24 months from the date of expiry of the last suspension, all previous suspensions will be removed from your records.
You can check your demerit points status from your Digital Driving Licence on the Singpass app or visit the SPF e-services portal via this link.
