How demerit points work

A driver has lost 28 demerit points in one incident after her Holden Captiva was stopped at Ourimbah as a part of Operation Tortoise.

Different licence types have different limits for demerit points. If you commit enough demerit point offences within a 3 year period that you reach or go over the limit for your licence type, your licence will be suspended, or we will refuse to renew it. If this happens, we will send you a Notice of Suspension or Refusal.
