Rta how many points do i have

An unrestricted licence holder who is subject to a good behaviour period but accumulates two 2 or more demerit points within a month period, their licence will be suspended for twice the original suspension period that was imposed by the RMS.

Unrestricted licence holders who have accumulated 13 or more demerit points cannot appeal to the Local Court for a variation to their suspension. The only options available to these drivers are:. Complete the suspension period; or 2. Make an application for Professional Driver status, but conditions apply to the issue of such licences.

When this is done the accumulated demerit points that led to the suspension being imposed will be re-set to zero.

This date will be advised in the letter from the RMS once the driver has reached or exceeded their demerit point limit. If approved, the suspension period imposed for exceeding the demerit point limit will cease and be replaced by a month Good Behaviour Licence. The suspension period imposed for exceeding the demerit point limit will normally continue for 12 months. Drivers must make the election before this period begins. An application for a Professional Driver Licence will be considered if and only if the driver has accumulated exactly 13 demerit points and they are either a driver who transports goods or an accredited taxi, bus, or hire car driver who drives to earn their living.

If their application is successful, they will then be given a threshold of 14 points instead of 13 in a 3-year period. A driver who accumulates seven 7 or more demerit points P-2 driver or 4 demerit points P-1 or Learner driver , may appeal to the Local Court against the suspension. The suspension will remain in place and the suspended driver must complete the period of suspension originally imposed by the RMS.

The Court can determine whether this period is to commence immediately, or from a future date. The driver will then have the demerit points reset in accordance with the offences that resulted in the suspension. In this scenario, the driver is unable to convince the Court of the merit of their appeal but provide sufficient reason to the Court for a variation to the suspension. The imposed suspension period will be reduced to a length that the Court deems appropriate given all the circumstances.

Once the driver serves the relevant period of suspension, the demerit points against their licence will be reset in accordance with the offences that resulted in the suspension. The Court can also determine when the period of suspension begins. Where the Court agrees, the suspension period will be cancelled. However, the demerit points that resulted in the suspension will not be reset.

Moreover, the driver will need to be extremely cautious thereafter because any additional demerit points incurred subsequently will result in their licence being suspended until such time as the penalty lapses and the demerit points are cancelled.

Demerit points reset every 3 years from the date of the offence. In addition, should a driver incur two 2 suspensions as a result of accumulated demerit points whilst on a Provisional Licence, the RMS may ask the driver to complete:. Any appeal to the Local Court with respect to a licence suspension will incur a filing fee.

There are also strict time limits which apply to the lodgement of licence appeals. Any driver holding a Good Behaviour Licence who commits an offence for which two or more demerit points apply, and the driver pays the fine which constitutes an admission of fault , no further avenues for appeal are available. However, if the driver does not pay the fine, they may be able to elect to have the matter heard in court.

In this case, should the Court either dismiss the matter under section 10 of the Crimes Sentencing Procedure Act NSW , or finds the offence not proved, no demerit points are applied and the Good Behaviour Licence remains in place until it expires.

If a driver has their licence suspended for a long period by the Court , other avenues are now available in NSW to apply for a lifting of the suspension.

How much is the fine now? I had a driving offence I crossed red light camera. Unfortunately till the prior of the offence, I have 9 years and 6 months clear Australian driving licence. Can I possibly request for review for appeal or take this case to court for nearly 10 years I had clear Australian licence?

I appreciate for your guidance in advance. I believe NSW drivers are being punished three folds for driving offences minor or major: 1. Fine 2. Demerit Points and 3. Three 3 years to recover the demerit points.

How they are managing there day to day affairs without a driving licence c. The three years time period is that fair for drivers who loose demerits points for minor offences.

Nowhere on the official sites does it say what happens to your points after you have served your suspension… Can you tell me please? If I receive a driving fine in the mail during probationary period. Just not too sure. My points were accumulated when the demerit points were 2 years before you got the points back. Why are my points not back after the 2 years then? Hey I lost my Ls and was wondering if I have done the hours am I able to get my ps as soon as I get my licence back or do I have to wait longer.

I was on learner when i got 2 speeding fine and with 2 points that will become 8 because of learner and then they suspend my driving license for three month. Now i have full unrestricted driving license so my question is that after suspension period 8 demerits point will remain on license or not?

I need liscence for my tafe and my work. So what can i do now. I had no license driving while suspended and no p plates and was told I was suspended on the 14 of April of dued to Coronavirus and I have a working Job and is required to drive to specific places.

I have several auto immune diseases and my father has pancreatic cancer we can not afford to get COVID My son will have to use public transport to get to work. I am concerned the family will be punished. My son commited traffic violation twice in Perth first by attending phone call while driving. He was fined and let off. Secondly time he was found jumping Red Light signal. This time he was fined and his DL suspended for your years. He has been driving small Load Carrier to earn his livelihood.

Hi I have only 3 more demerit point left before DL suspension, I would like to know how long does it take from the date of losing all demerit point to the date of starting driving suspension. I am planning to arrange for DL Suspension after the new year as I am working as an Uber driver and I need to have a clean DL with no demerit point next year.

Hi, my son is on his red Ps so he has only 4 points. He has received a fine for which normally there would be 3 demerits but being a P player he will receive 4 and be suspended for 3 months. Is there anything we can do to avoid the suspension? Thanks, Babar. Actually i am on 11 points. I have paid my fines even though I have written a letter for leniency as I made the mistake and could not turn around and either way I could have coped 4 tickets. Need help in getting assistance even to get one dimerit points taken away as it happens in a space of 1 minute.

For all those having same troubles as me with continuous fines and demerit points for focusing on driving safely, rather than obeying the mess that RMS has made of the roads. For 20 years of driving I have never had an accident, or been pulled over by the police.

But yet I have lost my license from demerit points around 10 times in the last 7 years?? If I had driven whilst trying to read and obey all the rules, I wonder how many accidents I would have caused, how much trauma from being a recipient of road rage, as I cant imagine there would be much time to watch my mirrors and drive safely and responsibly. I even got fined for stopping at a no stopping zone — but I was not stopped — I was indicating and waiting for a truck to get out of a driveway on the other side of the road, so I could continue driving along the couldersack.

They pick on people and make them look like they have a negligent driving history, and keep fining them. The real criminals are the police and the RMS, and may everyone know it very soon. But what retribution will the victims of their evil recive — will they reimburse us the lost moneys, the job losses, the stress and trauma of such victimisation and persecution so they can feel powerful by doing evil things to control people, and get their money.

A truely powerful person, does not need to behave this way. Only the worst cowards could create such a disgraceful nonsence. I agree from other comments — there should be some accountability by the RMA and Revenue Services as to what are the real causes of the majority of fines issued eg.

I got fined for mobile phone usage, and all I did was quickly put my phone on the charger at a red traffic light. It was not even in use. But yet it is legal to talk, look at GPS, play loud music or screen for any other reason including taking selfies, smoking, etc if your phone is in a carrying devise. I would never do such legal things with my phone, as that is the kind of things that does cause accidents.

I could only conclude that there is a mass scam, with the decent people being victims, or the police, RMS and Revenue Services are imbeciles to not come up with a sensible way to keep our roads safe.
