Section 35A

For the purpose of establishing that it would not be in the interests of public safety for a person to hold a driving licence or that such person is not competent to drive a motor vehicle, the Minister may make rules establishing a system of awarding points against a person for the commission of an offence under this Act or any rules made thereunder or a person who has been compounded under this

Act and has paid the compound:

Road Transport 59

Provided that such rules may make provision for requiring any such person to undergo such course as the Director General may prescribe.

The rules made under subsection (2) shall specify the maximum number of points to be awarded against a person before it may be established that it would not be in the interests of public safety for him to hold a driving licence or that such person is not competent to drive a motor vehicle.

The power conferred upon the Director General by this section to revoke the driving licence of a person shall be exercised at such time after the maximum number of points referred to in subsection (3) has been awarded against such person as the Director

General considers fit.

Where the person whose probationary driving licence has been revoked is disqualified by an order of a court from holding or obtaining a driving licence for such period of time as may be specified in such order, every point awarded against him under the rules made under subsection (2) shall thereupon be cancelled.
