    demerits drop off 2 years after the LAST ticket you received, so if you got a ticket with 50 demerits on 01.01.04 (demerits expire 31.12.05), but on 30.12.05 get another ticket with 35 demerits, then you'll have 85 demerits for 2 years from 30.12.05.

    it's been done to death on here - the link to the legislation is somewhere.

    Demerit points will also be removed if you have not offended for 2 years.

    Straight from the LTSA website................cunts.

    To my knowledge, you get your points back when you've had 2 years of NO convictions. So as mentioned above, it u get that fine just before the 2 years, you have to put up with it all. Check the LTSA web site.
    As for the lump sum payment, dempending how much it is, ie $500 or more, ring them up and arrange to pay it off, they do do it with out a court apperance, tho will sometimes charge you court fee's even tho you never turn up.

    Good point. Travel fast enough and time actually goes backwards. So I guess if you ride fast enough for long enough you'd end up with no demerit points. Well, it kinda worked in a Superman filum I once saw.

    Nothing to do with subject...

    Got passed by a squid on a sprotsbike while on a busy freeway yesterday, saw him come up behind me, weaving and ducking through the traffic, we were all doing about 120kph and the way he passed he would have been hitting the high side of 160+, busy looking behind him while shirt-tail flapped furiously in the breeze, oh well, at least he wore a helmet, dunno why 'cos if he got it wrong on that bit of road he would be raspberry jam about 3mm thick before you could blink.

    Is it?? Couldn;t find any info... and the LTSA website is a bit all over the place.

    Cheers for the answer....helps to know these things.

    I guess its fair to have it that way - otherwise people will just maintain a steady level of points as long as they are under 100 demerits.

    WHAT??? Marty I've never heard that before. Hope like hell you are wrong.
    I got a warning notice in Nov. 04 when I got a second lot of demerits. The letter said "demerit points remain active for a period of 2 years from the offence date unless
    * you are suspended due to demerit points
    *The Courts disqualify you for 6 mths or more"

    No mention of the points being extended everytime you get more tickets. Shit that's so unfair. Demerits could last for 10 years or more using your example.
    I will ring the pricks tomorrow to see what my balance is and how much for an overdraft. Fixed or floating I don't care.
