Demerit points for no licence?

**pervert** · 26th January 2007, 11:51

Was wondering if anyone knew FOR SURE if the $55 fine for not carrying your drivers licence carries any demerit points?

Also, does the $150 no seatbelt fine have any demerit points associated with it if you are the driver of the vehicle?

I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but as I've never had either fine I'm not 100%.

I'm on 90 demerits for the next six months, so I'd hate to loose my licence for either of those laughable little offences.

Now, I may be a bit obtuse, here, but how about this for an idea? Carry your licence with you and wear a seatbelt...

This MUST be a troll, right?

You MAY forget to take your licence with you but forget to put your seat-belt on? sheesh!

People like that NEED demerits for forgetting to put it on but sadly there are none.

So you enjoy frittering away $150 from time to time?

Must be dang sight richer than me and could afford a taxi for three months if you DID lose your licence from demerits.!!

It doesn't both me much...if it happens it happens. It's all about risks I guess, like most things in life.

If that $150 didn't get wasted on that fine, it would have been wasted on something else. I won't loose any sleep over it.

I've never done that, and never would...I deserve any fines I receive and pay them within due dates.

But at least you'd be spending it on what "you" want.

Haha thanks dude, I was interested in winding the cops on here up as much as the answer though, hence the lazyness...

It's funny how I said to you the other day I was back down to 55 and it's the first time in ages I've been that low, then two day's later I'm back to 90...

There is an approach I should have taken back in 1987...that was not bother getting a licence at all - then they can fine you all they like but they can't give you any demerit points
