In Western Australia, taking demerit points for someone else is not just cheeky, it's illegal. The law assumes the driver caught by the camera or police is the offender, and passing the blame or points to another person is considered fraud. This can lead to serious penalties including fines and potential court action.
Basically, the system is designed to ensure the right culprit pays the price, so trying to dodge your own demerit points is a risky game that usually ends badly. If you’re caught doing this, you might find yourself with even more headaches than the original offence.
For exact details and possible legal advice, checking with the WA Department of Transport or a legal expert is your best bet.
