How many demerit points can you receive before your license is suspended?

  1. 3

  2. 5

  3. 7

  4. 10

The correct answer is: 7

Demerit points are given by the local authorities whenever a person violates a traffic rule. The number of demerit points given varies depending on the severity of the violation. A certain maximum number of demerit points is assigned to each driver's license. In the event of a license holder accumulating a higher number of demerit points, their license might get suspended or revoked. The correct number of demerit points that can lead to suspension or revocation of a license may vary by state or country. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct number of demerit points needed for a license suspension.
