The ‘Demerit
Points Relief System’ was applied in some Countries in the middle East years
ago, countries such as Dubai and Kuwait and essentially it is a form of
rewarding drivers who drive safely for a certain period.
But how
does it apply in NSW?
The
demerit points relief for ‘safe drivers’ trial ran from 17th January
2023 until 16th January 2024, and it applied to all unrestricted NSW
Licence Holders (this includes professional drivers).
If an ‘eligible
driver’ (meaning an Unrestricted NSW Licence Holder or a Professional Driver)
maintained an ‘offence free record’ during this trial period from 17th
January 2023 until 16th January 2024 then one demerit point was
removed from their driving record.
TFNSW
began demerit point deduction process from mid-April 2024 for eligible drivers
who were offence free from 17th January 2023 until 16th
January 2024.
