Almost 1.1 million drivers are on track to have a demerit point scrubbed from their licence as the NSW Government urges a safe Christmas and New Year on the state’s roads.
The second year of the demerit point return scheme will end on 16 January next year, giving motorists that little extra incentive to remain offence-free at a time when people travel longer distances to reunite with family or go on holiday.
The trial gives drivers, who have maintained a clean record over the past 12 months, the chance to have a demerit point removed from their record.
NSW Roads Minister John Graham says these are very personal incentives to drive safely, but the broader effect is that safety on NSW roads is enhanced overall when people are making the right decisions to remain within the speed limit and within the law.
