Ah, Tasmania and its demerit points system—a charming little way to keep drivers in check without the need for a dashcam or a stern glare from a local cop.
In Tasmania, you start with 12 demerit points if you're a full license holder. Accumulate 12 points within a 3-year period, and you’re looking at a suspension. Learner and provisional drivers get a stingier 4 points before suspension.
Points are added for everything from speeding to running red lights, and they stick around for 3 years. After that period, if you haven't been naughty, the points vanish like your patience in rush hour.
For the full, official rundown, check out Tasmania's Department of State Growth website or ServiceCentral for local updates.
