In short, the main objective of the point system is the protection of road users by identifying and penalizing motor vehicle drivers who, knowingly or not, break traffic lawa and who are, to a great extent, responsible for accidenta.Upon perusal of the table, you will readily understand that when a motorist violates any section of the Criminal Code or the Highway Code listed thereon, the Director of the Motor Vehicle Bureau records the points prescribed for each offence, except in cases where a judge has imposed a prohibition to drive for a period of three months or more.It is actually a combination of two maps, one Provincial electoral district Outaouais administrative region (Region 7).SAO (Société d'amenagement de VOutaouais) H Outaouais ur Municipal County Lines » gun.and Beachburg, Ont May 14, 1975 Points are also recorded where the offence committed violates a municipal regulation or a regulation enacted under the Autoroutes Act and the said infraction is the same kind as specified in the Demerit Point System Regulation.Equivalent penalties are applicable for offences committed in violation of the Criminal Code in all the other Canadian provinces.PROCEDURES In the case of 6, 7 or 8 points As soon as 6, 7 or 8 points are recorded in a person s file, he is advised by the Motor Vehicle Bureau accordingly.In the case of 9,10 or 11 points You will receive a notice from the Director of the M.V.B.regarding the number of points recorded.You could be summoned by the Director to appear for an interview with an officer of the said agency.And furthermore, measures could be taken against you, even going as far as the suspension of your driving permit.In the case of 12 points or more When 12 or more points are recorded, the permit Is suspended for three months.If there is a second suspension within two years following the date on which the permit was first suspended, the second suspension is for six months.A third suspension during the same 2-year period is for twelve months STRIKING OFF The points entered become null and void two years after they are entered in the file of motorists found at fault.When a driver's permit is suspended blowing an accumulation of 12 points or more, 12 points are then deleted from the guilty motorist s record Dear Sir, We received a copy of Mr Liberty's letter dated May 5, 1975 which was.I guess, published in your paper.He said I didn\u2019t do anything but I did a few years back.I bought spray for the weeds.I wouldn't give any money to the upkeep as long as Jack Foster was looking after it.I sent him a tape to tell him how I felt.I probably will get a bad letter back from it.They took the church away but left the property in a had mess.They never cleaned up DuMraVeil NEWS after them or anything.Thanks for all the help you have given in the past.Sincerely, Cecil Milford.Campbell's Bay, Quebec May 1975 ' Mrs R Dickson Shawville Co.Pontiac, P.Q.Dear Mrs Dickson.\t.\t.Members of St John the Evangelist CWL wish to thank during these last Bernadette McGee, Publicity Convenor.> v Letters to the Editor you for the good coverage you gave two years.us by Mrs Edmund Stewart Correspondent Mrs Mamie Stewart of Shawville was visiting friends and relatives on the Island last week.Deepest sympathy to Mr and Mrs René Ladouceur on the loss of their infant baby.Congratulations to Lorraine Meilleur and Michel Normandeau who were married on May 17th.Mr and Mrs Stewart were visiting their son Raymond, his wife Cheryl and their two daughters Melanie and Cindy of Pembroke recently.Visiting on the weekend with John Donnely was Gearld Roach of Toronto, Ont.Edmund A a I I A I & I & 2 # IT Number of points HIGHWAY CODE rr *2 V C-J 1 v Passing to the right on shoulder % YOUR SAFETY DEMERIT POINTS n ?W i ; *4 % 2 * Dangerous passing to the left 4 ' I \\ r rz « ¦cr ^ ( 4 Driving on the left on a hill, curve I R \", 2 Passing when there is a continuous line 1 » A v 2 Dangerous driving in reverse T is™ \\ i * I X 2 Failing to stop at an intersection -
