2) Run off course/ Strike kerb/ Foot touches ground/ Fall off motorcycle at Crank course
3) Run off course/ Strike kerb/ Foot touches ground/ Fall off motorcycle at Slalom (Pylon course)
4) Run off course/ Strike kerb/ Foot touches ground/ Fall off motorcycle at Plank

5) Strike / Skip Pylon

6) Taking more than 13 sec at S course
7) Taking more than 8 sec at Crank course
8) Taking more than 8 sec at Slalom (Pylon course)
9) Taking less than 3 sec at Plank

10) Roll backwards more than 0.5m at Slope

11) Unable to stop within stipulated distance at Emergency braking course
12) Lose control of motorcycle at Emergency braking course

2) Taking more than 7 sec at Crank course
3) Taking more than 7 sec at Slalom (Pylon course)
4) Taking less than 4 sec at Plank

5) Fail to attain the required speed at Emergency braking course

6) Fail to keep left (road hogging)
7) Fail to keep a safe following distance
8) Fail to keep within lane at bend
9) Change lane at bend

8) Fail to change to appropriate gear before turning / stopping

9) Improper turning (Incorrect lane)

10) Fail to check blind spot
11) Fail to look out for traffic at Junction

12) Fail to signal / Give wrong signal
13) Fail to cancel signal twice

These actions incur 2 Demerit Points.
1) Excessive revving of engine at slope

2) Incorrect technique at Emergency braking course

3) Incorrect posture when moving off / stopping
4) Delay in moving off
5) Poor acceleration
6) Wobble when moving off / stopping
7) Stall engine repeatedly
8) Slow in restarting stalled engine

9) Speed too slow

14) Improper turning (Wide turn / Sharp turn)

15) Improper checking of blind spot
16) Fail to look out for traffic from side road
