A single offence puts somewhere between two to seven demerit points on your record, but the number of points for your offence is the same regardless of your driver's licence G, G1, or G2.

G1 drivers may also have their licence suspended for any offence that has four or more demerit points, such as:. Holders of a G2 licence are still deemed to be novice drivers and have the same laws regarding the number of demerit points as G1 drivers. If your licence is suspended, you can get it back after the stated number of days, but your demerit points are only reduced to four same for G1 drivers. The Ontario Ministry of Transportation and the provincial government give more leeway to those who hold an unrestricted G license.
Fully licenced drivers can still run into trouble if they receive too many demerit points as follows:. If you get more than 15 demerit points you may have to retake your written exam and driving test. Once you get your licence back, your demerit points are reduced to seven. Demerit points will be removed from your record 2 years from the date of your driving conviction. You can also have demerits removed by passing an approved defensive driving test.
Traffic violations with demerit points in other provinces can be added to your driving record in Alberta. Through the Canadian Driver Licence Compact, provinces share driver licensing records.
