Mastering the AARTO Points Demerit System

The AARTO points demerit system has revolutionized traffic violation enforcement in South Africa. Understanding this system is crucial for maintaining your driving privileges.

What is the AARTO Points Demerit System?

Designed to promote responsible driving by assigning demerit points for offenses. Points vary by violation severity.

How Does It Work?

Drivers start with zero points, receiving demerit points when fined. Minor violations incur 1-2 points, serious offenses result in higher allocations.

Implications of Accumulating Points

12 points leads to 3-month suspension. 14 points second time means 6-month suspension. Third time exceeding 14 points results in 2-year minimum disqualification.
