To be disqualified: Contesting demerits?

[Owl]

Wow, I have just leant something on KB.

Now i am going to have a cry as i thought i was coming up to get my 50 points back but now have to wait until Oct 2012.

Don't cry just yet, as I call it bollocks!

I copped 35 demerits in Nov 2008, 35 in Apr 2009 and 20 in Feb 2011. The letter I received in March after paying the fine, stated I had 55 demerits, so the 35 from 2008 had already dropped off. It even had the date in April when the next 35 were due to go.

I'll be ringing tomorrow to confirm I'm back to 20 demerits.

PANIC OVER!!!

We're OK. It was as I had originally thought (The points to drop off at their 2 year anniversary, whether youve had subsesuqent run ins with the law or not) and not what others were suggesting.

My Proof: (Similar to Owl's description above) I have just called the licensing people and confirmed my points balance. They have confirmed I have 40 which means the original 35 I earned back in May 22 2009 have expired. They also confirmed that of the forty I have left, they will expire in two lots in September and October respectively (Man did I have a good 2009 huh ? LOL).

So, full circle again... Man Im Dizzy

So what is the deal with that piece of legislation then?

Ignored for administrative convenience?

Very interesting.
It does appear to read as you suggest.

The "2 or more offences" does not state within what time frame. So does that 2 offences refer to the one ticket?

That may seem superfluous as now demerit points are backdated to the date of the offence, but it doesn't look like this clause has been amended (judging by the list of amendments).
