He said Awas would serve to discipline road users and integrate the demerit point system with AES.

“Those who have collected 20 demerit points will first be issued a warning. When it reaches 40 points, they will be suspended and finally when it is 60 points, their licence will be cancelled,” he said.

He said the ministry was looking to install more AES cameras nationwide as there were only 14 at present.

“We have to put more AES cameras in all states, especially in accident prone areas, and we will engage local leaders to identify the locations,” he said, adding that current summonses held by traffic offenders would not be taken into account once the new system was implemented.
