ARRIVE Alive president Sharon Inglefield is seeking a meeting with the newly minted Transport and Civil Aviation Minister Eli Zakour and Works and Infrastructure Minister Jearlean John to discuss road safety matters, including the recent announcement to scrap the former administration's demerit point system.

Inglefield believes the system is too valuable a tool in deterring errant drivers to toss out. Instead, she said shortcomings should be assessed and improvements devised.

"This demerit points system has worked all over the world, particularly first world countries, where they have minimal carnage on their roads and we're really hoping that we can revamp, relook and work together with all stakeholders to relook at the demerit points system to make it a better system rather than scrapping it."
