Victoria’s demerit points are like a loyalty program you don’t want—collect enough and the prize is a licence holiday.
Each traffic offence carries a set number of points, added to your record by VicRoads, and they hang around for 3 years from the offence date.
Hit your licence type’s limit and you’ll face suspension, or you can opt for a 12‑month good behaviour period where one more slip-up triggers a longer timeout.
Fines are separate to points, so yes, you can get stung twice for the same whoopsie.
If you’re unsure of your tally or limit, check your VicRoads account and read the official notes before your next enthusiastic rendezvous with a camera.
