How long do demerit points stay on a driver's record in Ontario?
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: C. Two years from the date of the offence
Demerit points remain on your record for two years from the date of the offence. Accumulating too many points within that window triggers warning, interview, and finally suspension — the threshold is stricter for G1/G2 drivers (9 points) than for fully-licensed drivers (15 points).
Why the other answers are wrong
- A.Six monthsSix months is too short; the regulated period is two years.
- B.One yearOne year is incorrect; Ontario uses two years.
- D.Permanently unless appealedDemerit points expire automatically after two years — they are not permanent.
