Demerit Points & Expiation Notices
Before you pay that fine, check your options.
Many expiation notices, including those for speeding, mobile phone use and seatbelt offences, carry demerit points. Once you reach the limit, you'll lose your licence.
Paying an expiation notice means accepting the demerit points. Before you pay, you may be able to:
Ask the issuing authority to review the notice
Elect to be prosecuted, so the matter is decided by a court
Negotiate with police about the charge
If you're close to the limit, or have already received a disqualification notice, talk to us about your options.
