Yep you get so many for a certain period (around 24 months from memory and then renewed).....when (if) you've used them up, you're licence gets suspended.

Alpo Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 We have the same thing in Florida. I assumed that every state had it. You get pulled for speeding, and you get so many points. Careless driving, and you get so many more points. And when you get to a certain amount of points in a certain amount of time, they pull your license. They don't call them demerits. Just points. But it's the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Long Weekends and Christmas/New Years/Easter Holidays (high death tolls) we have double demerit points. https://www.nsw.gov.au/driving-boating-and-transport/demerits-penalties-and-offences/how-demerit-points-work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I don't think we have points that go up, but I have seen many times signs in construction areas that say SPEEDING FINES ARE DOUBLED WHEN WORKERS ARE PRESENT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
