Abstract: The driver’s license demerit point system is a key policy instrument employed by the government to promote traffic discipline and reduce road accidents. Nevertheless, enforcement of this measure continues to face structural, systemic, and stakeholder-acceptance challenges. This study aims (1) to examine problems and obstacles in complying with traffic discipline control measures under the demerit point system and (2) to propose guidelines for enhancingthe effectiveness of law enforcement related to this system. A qualitative research approach was adopted. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 14 key informants from three groups: government officials, representatives from private sectororganizations, and road users. The data were analyzed using content analysis. The findings reveal that (1) the enforcement of the demerit point system remains insufficiently stringent, with limitationsin supporting equipment, fragmented databases, as well as inadequate public understanding of the measure; (2) private-sector stakeholders perceives deficiencies in the use of technology and public communication, while the public expresses concerns regarding transparency and fairness in the enforcement process; (3) proposed development guidelinesinclude strengthening law enforcement,improving technological infrastructure and data integration, developing application-based platforms for monitoring demerit points, disseminating information through diverse communication channels, and tailoring the measures to different categories of road users; and (4) additional recommendations include enhancing inter-agency collaboration, increasingpenalties alongside positive incentives,implementing real-time notificationsystems, providing training programs for repeat offenders, and delivering clear and continuous public communication to foster understanding and cooperation among all stakeholders in effectively enforcing traffic discipline laws.
