What happens if a driver collects nine or more demerit points?

When a driver accumulates nine or more demerit points, their license will be suspended for 60 days. This is part of Ontario's graduated licensing system, which is designed to encourage safe driving by penalizing those who demonstrate a pattern of irresponsible behavior. Accumulating a significant number of demerit points indicates that the driver has been involved in serious traffic violations that pose risks to themselves and others on the road.

The suspension sends a clear message about the importance of adhering to traffic laws and helps to promote road safety. During the suspension period, the driver is not allowed to operate a vehicle, which serves as a deterrent against future infractions. The other options do not address the serious implications of reaching this threshold of demerit points; for example, simply receiving a warning or resetting points to zero would not adequately address the need for corrective action in response to unsafe driving behavior.
