Manitoba will launch a merit points system for accident and conviction free drivers on September 1. Each two years of faultless driving earns one merit point, up to five, offsetting demerit points. Initial merit points start after 24 months of clean records. Demerit points are reduced monthly based on continued safe driving. higher demerits take longer to erase. The program does not cut Autopac premiums or license fees, but a surcharge up to 350 applies as demerit points rise. Active licenses only. lapses exclude past clean records.
