forbidden to drive for a certain amount of time.

to make roads safer. It can improve standards(水平)of driving and reduce the accident
rates.

will result in Driving Offence Points?

What will happen if you
have got up to 10 points?
If you have got 10 points
or above, but still less than 15 points, you will receive a warning letter from
the Transport Department. This letter will tell you your record of Driving
Offence Points and remind you of the result of getting more points-It is hoped
that this warning will change your driving behavior for the better.
What will happen if you
have got 15 points?
If you have got 15 points or more within two years, a court will
take away your driving license. The first time you are found guilty(有罪的)you will not be able to drive
for 3 months, but if you are caught a second time, you will not be able to
drive for 6 months.
