Introduction

As a driver you start with zero demerit points. If you commit an offence that has a demerit point penalty, they are then added to your driving record.

If you reach or exceed the maximum demerit points allowable for your licence within a 3-year period, your licence will be suspended, or not renewed.

The demerit point check displays the active demerit points you've accrued within the last 3 years and 4 months.
