Offences for which demerit points are incurred
15 Offences for which demerit points are incurred
(1) The regulations may
prescribe: (a) the offences (relating to the driving or use of motor
vehicles), and the number of demerit points incurred for each offence, that
comprise the national schedule of demerit points, and
(b) additional offences
(relating to the driving or use of motor vehicles) created under a law of this
State for which demerit points may be incurred and the number of demerit
points incurred for each offence.
(2) The Authority may, by notice published
in the Gazette: (a) recognise offences (relating to the driving or use of
motor vehicles) created under a law of this State or another jurisdiction that
are not on the national schedule of demerit points as being offences for which
the Authority will record demerit points against persons, and
(b) specify the
number of demerit points incurred for each of those offences.
(3) The
Authority may, by notice published in the Gazette, revoke the recognition of
an offence under subsection (2) or amend the number of demerit points
specified for an offence. Any such revocation or amendment takes effect on the
day the notice is published in the Gazette, or on such later day as may be
specified in the notice.
(4) A regulation or a notice under this section may
specify different numbers of demerit points for the same offence in different
circumstances (whether or not the offence is contained in the national
schedule of demerit points).
(5) An offence is taken to be recognised under
this section on the day the notice is published in the Gazette, or on such
later day as may be specified in the notice.
(6) A revocation or amendment
under subsection (3) does not affect any demerit points incurred before the
revocation or amendment takes effect.
