A novice driver will have 8 points on their driving licence. These drivers will go on to obtain a balance of 12 points in 2 years, if they do not commit any infractions that deduct points. If in three more years they do not commit any infraction, the initial 12 points will be increased by 2 points, and one additional point is received for each of the following three years, up to a maximum of 15 points.
