Demerit points
Learn about demerit points.
Demerit points are penalty points that are issued to you if you commit specific driving offences. These points are recorded against your driving record under the Road Safety Act 1986 and Road Safety (Drivers) Regulations 2019.
All drivers start with zero demerit points. If you haven’t committed any offences that incur demerit points, you’ll have zero demerit points. The more offences you commit, the more demerit points you’ll accumulate.
You can check your demerit points for free online and order a driver history report for a nominal cost.
