Ah, the dreaded demerit points in Queensland – the government's way of reminding you that speed limits and road rules are more than mere suggestions. In Queensland, you start with 0 points, and accumulating 12 demerit points within a 3-year period can see you staring down the barrel of a licence suspension. Points vary depending on the offence: speeding might cost you 1-3 points, while more serious infractions like drink driving can rack up 4-8 points.
Keep your wits about you, because these points don't just vanish overnight; they stick around for three years from the offence date. You can check your current tally online or through ServiceCentral, and if you're hunting for a new set of wheels, remember that your driving record might just be the ultimate deal breaker. Drive smart, or Queensland's demerit points system will smarten you up.
