In Australia, the learner licence system doesn't work on a 'points' basis like a credit card. Instead, learner drivers must hold their licence for a minimum period (usually 12 months) and adhere to strict conditions such as zero blood alcohol content and no mobile phone use while driving.
If you accumulate traffic offences, you may get demerit points, and reaching the limit can suspend your learner licence. Typically, the demerit points threshold for learner drivers is 4 points within a certain period, but this can vary by state, so check your local road authority.
For precise rules, consult your state's transport department or sites like ServiceCentral. Remember, it's not about points on the licence itself but demerit points for driving offences.
