One million drivers who remained offence-free on the road over the past 12 months in NSW are being rewarded, with a demerit point scrubbed from their licence.
The results of the second year of the NSW government’s demerit point return scheme show drivers in areas of Western Sydney and regional NSW are the biggest beneficiaries this year.
Almost 1.5 million drivers were eligible to have a demerit point removed when the second year of the trial started on January 17, with just over one million drivers (1,003,610) remaining offence-free.
There are now more than 420,000 drivers who have had a demerit point wiped two years running.
Motorists will begin to see their licence demerit tally updated from the second quarter of 2025.
As the scheme enters its third year, the NSW Government is making an adjustment to the end date of the 12-month period which will in future run to 31 January starting in 2026.
The demerit point reward scheme is open to eligible unrestricted and professional licence holders with active demerit points.
