Demerit Point System : 
Let's say you have 0 point on 1st January 2012, and you committed the offence of Failing to Put on Seat Belt. So now, you will have 3 demerit points and this will last for 1 Year. 
  
If during this 1 year you have no demerit points offence at all, your 3 demerit points will be gone on 1/1/2013. 

But, if during this one  year, From 1/1/2012 - 1/1/2013, you committed another offence with demerit points, your very first offence will be extended for another year until 1/1/2014!
