JAKARTA - 6 JAN - The Indonesian Police Traffic Corps will implement a traffic demerit point system for all national driving licence holders starting in 2025, according to ANTARA newsagency. Traffic Corps Chief Inspector General Aan Suhanan explained that each licence holder will receive 12 points annually, with points deducted for traffic violations. Minor offenses will cost one point, moderate offenses three, and major offenses five. Serious incidents, such as accidents causing casualties or hit-and-run cases, will result in the revocation of the licence, which could be permanent. The system aims to reflect safe driving habits and promote road safety.

In addition to the demerit system, traffic violations and accidents will be recorded in a person’s criminal record (SKCK), which is required for certain jobs. Suhanan noted that the SKCK would indicate any traffic offenses committed by the licence holder. To enhance compliance, the Traffic Corps also plans to expand the use of electronic traffic law enforcement (ETLE) systems to encourage adherence to traffic regulations and safer driving practices.
