Is there a way of finding out how many demerit points you have and when they expire!

bellky, Jul 30, 10:27am

Good question mopsy3. I don't have any demerits, but I'm sure some here have.

Is that because your xr8 dosent go fast enough to get a ticket Just kidding
Go to the local police station they will be able to help

bellky, Jul 30, 10:31am

Don't go to the local Police station - they might lock you up! :-)

NZTA, not Police.

Ring NZTA on the 0800 number. Can't help as you I have never had one ticket.

I find them discriminating, as there are no merit points for good driving. Should be banned by the human rights commission.

mopsy3, Jul 30, 10:45am

Hmmm, neither do I but hubby does and he thinks he may have had another ticket a year or so ago but cant remember.

bellky, Jul 30, 11:25am

I thought it was 100 points within a two year period!

smac, Jul 30, 11:27am

It is (there's a bit more to it to that, but that's the gist of it).

mopsy3, Jul 30, 12:45pm

pedro.b, Jul 30, 4:58pm

I'm at 95, the crap thing is the minimum fine is 10 points so I have to be a good boy.

modie61, Jul 30, 5:33pm

How many points is careless driving causing accident worth ! Non injury, 1 car involved !

modie61, Jul 30, 5:34pm

Why cant we have a star rating like trucking companies do !
Its always about the negative side of things isnt it !

smac, Jul 30, 5:44pm

You think those stars aren't negative! They start at 5, and go backwards for everything they do wrong. No different in principle to starting at 0 and going up for everything you do wrong.

pieman33h, Jul 31, 3:05am

careless driving attracts 35 points. And a fine. Usually a pretty good one

elect70, Jul 31, 2:54pm

Barstads even give then now for driving with rego on hold , definatley a big killer on our roads. Who says they are not revenue driven .!
