The Driver Demerit System penalises drivers for traffic infringements using demerit points – with a demerit limit of 12 points.

If a driver’s total demerit points exceed 12, their licence is suspended for three months for every demerit point over 12.

Once a driver’s licence is suspended for the third time, it is cancelled and destroyed.
