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 2091 against your infringement notice and the official gazette.
Code 2091 (Reg. 165(1) r/w Reg. 185) is an AARTO infringement: operated a vehicle which did not have a head lamp which was so placed that the portion of it's illuminating surface from the centre line was within 400 millimetres from the outer edge of the vehicle. No parking lamps were kept lighted on that side of the vehicle. A final charge here adds 1 of the 15 points needed for a driving licence suspension (about 7% of the threshold).
What this means for your demerit total
If this charge becomes final against you, it would add 1 demerit point toward the 15-point disqualification threshold (regulation 20(6)). That is about 7% 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.
