Gce Model Questions Vol1 2023 Civic Education Question 42

Driver X committed three offences in the last twelve months: (i) speeding 20 % over the limit, (ii) running a red light, and (iii) using a mobile phone while driving. Penalty points are assigned as follows: for speeding, each 10 % over the limit adds 1 point (minimum 3 points for 20 % over); running a red light carries 4 points; using a mobile phone carries 2 points. A driver's licence is suspended for six months if the total points accumulated in a twelve‑month period exceed 12, and an immediate three‑month suspension applies if any single offence carries 6 points or more. Driver X also has 5 demerit points from the previous year that are still on record. After the offences, Driver X attends a driver‑improvement course, which reduces any licence suspension by one month provided it is completed within two months of the offence. What is the final length of Driver X's licence suspension, in months?
