Losing licence for 2 tickets in a year?

[cynna]

ive done a search but cant find what im after

ive just got my second speeding ticket in a year (still less then 100 demerit points) - I always thought that it was 3 tickets but a mate of mine reckons you automatically lose your licence if u get 2 speeding tickets in a year. does anyone know if this is true?

only found this on the landtransport site
"If you get a total of 100 or more demerit points within any two year period, you will be suspended from driving for three months."

i didnt find anything about automatic loss of licence for a set number of tickets in a year so it could bullshit. anyone know for sure?

It's the demerit points.

Your mate is wrong has to reach 100 demerits.

If you accumulate 100 demerits within 2 ears its 3 months loss.

If you accumulate 100 demerits within 1 year you lose it for 6 months.

Demerits do not all magically clear all at once every 2 years, they clear 2 years from the date you got the ticket.

Delaying payment on a ticket no longer works. so you cant wait until last possible time to try scrape through, the demerits apply from the date of the offence.

I agree with the 1st part skid, but the 2 years start for those demerits when you have paid the fine
