Demerit point values are taken from Schedule 3, column 6 of the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences Regulations, 2026 (GN R.7646, Government Gazette 54922). This is an unofficial summary for convenience; verify code 1801 against your infringement notice and the official gazette.
Code 1801 (Reg. 99(2)(a)) is an AARTO infringement: holder of a learner's licence was not accompanied by a person with a licence authorising him or her to drive the vehicle. Non RWC. A final charge here adds 4 of the 15 points needed for a driving licence suspension (about 27% of the threshold).
What this means for your demerit total
If this charge becomes final against you, it would add 4 demerit points toward the 15-point disqualification threshold (regulation 20(6)). That is about 27% of the published total on its own. Demerit recording and suspension under Act sections 24–28 were not proclaimed as of August 2026 — treat this as educational until official channels confirm your status.
