What consequence is faced for accumulating too many demerit points during the GDL period?

Accumulating too many demerit points during the Graduated Driver's Licence (GDL) period in Nova Scotia leads to a license suspension. This consequence is in place to promote safe driving practices and ensure that new drivers are held accountable for their behavior on the road.

The GDL program is designed to gradually introduce new drivers to the responsibilities of driving. By implementing a system of demerit points, authorities can monitor and evaluate a driver's performance. When a driver exceeds the allotted number of demerit points, it signals a pattern of unsafe driving that necessitates a suspension to protect the driver and the public.

Other potential consequences related to demerit points, such as increased insurance fees or mandatory driver education courses, may exist in broader contexts, but the specific and immediate consequence of accumulating too many points during the GDL period is the suspension of the driver's license. This reinforces the importance of adhering to road rules and guidelines to maintain a safe driving environment.
