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 5096 against your infringement notice and the official gazette.
Code 5096 (Reg. 309(9)) is an AARTO infringement: driver of motor cycle or motor tricycle, failed to ensure that all the wheels of such motor cycle etc. were in contact with the surface of the road at all times. 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.
