ROAD TRANSPORT (DRIVER LICENSING) ACT 1998 - SECT 14

14 Demerit points register

(1) The Authority must maintain a demerit points register in accordance with this Act and the regulations.

(2) The Authority must record, in the demerit points register, against a person the number of demerit points specified in the regulations if the person:

(a) is convicted of an offence specified in the national schedule of demerit points or any other offence specified in the regulations, or recognised, under section 15, or

(b) pays the whole or any part of the penalty specified in a penalty notice issued to the person in respect of the offence, or

(c) has not paid the penalty specified in a penalty notice issued to the person in respect of the offence, the person has not elected to have the matter dealt with by a court and the time for the person to have the matter so dealt with has lapsed.

(3) Demerit points incurred by a person for an offence for which demerit points may be incurred under this Act or the regulations are to be recorded in the demerit points register in respect of the day on which the offence was committed.

(3A) To avoid doubt, the Authority is not to record demerit points against a person under this Division in respect of an offence if the court makes an order under section 10 of the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act 1999 in respect of the offence.

(5) Without limiting any other provision of this section, the Authority may correct any mistake, error or omission in the demerit points register, subject to any requirements of the regulations.

Note: If the holder of a driver licence issued by another driver licensing authority commits an offence in this State that warrants demerit points, the Authority must transmit all relevant information about the offence to the other authority (see section 11 (3)).
