Demerit point suspension. What is a demerit point suspension? You have to be of good behaviour for 12 months, which means you must not: get more than one demerit point, or commit an offence which results in licence disqualification.
Depending on your type of licence, the permissible number of demerit points may be four, eight or When this amount, or more is accrued within a three-year period, an EDPN is created. If you have accrued more than your permissible number of demerit points but have not been served with a demerit point notice, the Department will send you a notification requesting you to attend a Driver and Vehicle Services DVS centre to have an EDPN served.
If you do not respond to the notification the notice will be lodged with Australia Post for delivery under the Secure Collect mail delivery service or lodged with a contracted service delivery agent. This only applies if you are now residing permanently in another Australian State or Territory and does not apply if you are residing overseas. A certified copy of your EDPN cannot be issued over the counter but will be posted to your registered address.
When the disqualification period has been served, you are eligible to resume driving without the need for a driving test, as long as your licence is still current and there are no other disqualification periods pending or running.
