where —
(i)
on or before the date of his application, a notice under section 132 or 135 of the Act has been issued to or criminal proceedings have been instituted against the holder of the driving licence in respect of any offence which is specified in the Schedule to the Road Traffic (Driver Improvement Points System) Rules (referred to in this paragraph as a scheduled offence); and
(ii)
as at the date of his application, the holder of the driving licence has not paid the prescribed penalty for the scheduled offence, or the criminal proceedings have not been concluded, as the case may be,
any demerit points which would be awarded to the holder of the driving licence if, after the date of his application, he were to pay the prescribed penalty for, or be convicted of, the scheduled offence, as the case may be.”.
