How many demerits do I have after getting GDL back

[blacklabel]

I just got my license back after having it gone for a month. First time I lost it due to getting too many points. How many points to I have now that I've got it back again 8 points fresh or only a few?

I think you still have 8, but now you have to wait another full year to get your regular class 5

Edit: Nope, you're at 3 now.


Note: If a new driver has their operator’s licence suspended due to accumulating 8 or more demerit points their operator’s licence will be reinstated, following the suspension, with 3 demerit points.Effective intervention strategies are in place that will enable Alberta Transportation to identify problem driving behaviors that may require the driver to attend improvement or remedial courses.

So I can take on 5 more points then?

Yes... not that you should be posing that question like it's a challenge... but you still need a year from now until you are class 5.

Best idea is to think you have zero left, and drive according to the rules posted on the road signs.

One time that ignorance is bliss!

I am going to have a clean license in 3 months because I have followed this rule.
