As for
Demerit Point system:
Let's say you have 24 points on 1st January 2007, 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 1/1/2008. But, if during this one year, From 1/1/2007 - 1/1/2008, you committed another offence with demerit points, your very first offence will be extended for another year until 1/1/2009
