Alberta Motor Association (AMA) Learner’s Practice Exam

GDL drivers who accumulate eight or more demerit points within a two-year period face license suspension as a consequence. This requirement is in place to promote safe driving habits among novice drivers and to reinforce the importance of adhering to traffic laws. The license suspension serves as a deterrent, encouraging GDL drivers to remain cautious, follow regulations, and improve their driving behavior to reduce the risk of further infractions. Addressing the other options, while increased insurance rates, mandatory driving classes, and an extended GDL period could be relevant concerns for drivers who accumulate demerit points, the specific consequence mandated by Alberta’s GDL program for reaching this threshold is the suspension of the license. Hence, understanding the repercussions of accumulating demerit points helps reinforce responsible driving practices.
