    A list of current demerit points

    Found this while finding out what constitutes a legal turn signal prior to replacing the loafs of bread on by Hornet.

    Have a read and add up what you would have totaled on your last decent ride if you had been stopped for each 'offence' hit 100 and you strike out!


    These are the current rules not the proposed ones.

    Offence & Demerit points
    Exceeding speed limit by 10 km/h 10

    Exceeding speed limit by 11–20 km/h 20

    Driving at a speed that means you are unable to stop in half of the clear distance ahead 20

    Driving in a lane at a speed that means you are unable to stop in length of lane that you can see 20

    Driving at a speed that means you are unable to stop short of the vehicle ahead 20

    Failing to observe Give Way signs 20

    Proceeding before the way is clear at a Stop sign 20

    Failing to keep as close as practicable to left edge of roadway 20

    Failing to stop and remain stopped for a school patrol sign 20

    Failing to observe the requirements at a school patrol crossing 20

    Breaching a condition of learner licence 25

    Breaching a conditions of restricted licence 25

    Exceeding speed limit by 21–30 km/h 35

    Passing or attempting to pass where no-passing lines are marked on the road 35

    Failing to remain stopped for an enforcement officer 35

    Failing to stop when followed by red and blue flashing lights 35

    Carelessly or inconsiderately using of a motor vehicle 35

    Driving or attempting to drive when prohibited by an enforcement officer 35

    Exceeding speed limit by 31–35 km/h 40

    Exceeding speed limit by 36 km/h or more 50

    Failing or refusing:
    > to wait for result of a breath screening test
    > to accompany a police officer when required
    > to remain for evidential breath test or blood test 50

    Person under 20 driving or attempting to drive with excess breath or blood alcohol 50

    +1 for all this.

    Nothing I didn't really already know but still worth a read.

    Apart from the grog and the speed offences I reckon most of the others on the list just gather cobwebs. Don't seem to be enforced around here.

    This one if enforced could save us all a lot of worries.

    In a 1 hour session on any road in Auckland a cop could fullfill his/her "performance target" for the month.

    Also if the cages were made to keep left we wouldnt have to cross the line when lane splitting. We would be then overtaking in lane. Which is the way to go according to the last cop who pulled me over for splitting.

    Isnt the first rule of the road code "Keep Left"?

    Yup. Keep left and give way to your right.

    Question

    So there is no points for driving/riding a vehicle that has no WOF, no Rego or is not road legal??

    May the bridges I burn light the way.

    Since the only way you're ever going to get one of these is if you actually cause an accident, it should be 100 points and a smack around the head.

    Passing on a yellow line - another smack in the head and 2 years walking, although I have to admit they are beginning to overuse the no-passing lines - more catering for the lowest common denominator?
    If it wasn't for a concise set of rules, we might have to resort to common sense!
