The demerit point return scheme was an election promise of the Minns government designed to place a sharper focus on road safety amid last year's record-breaking road death toll.
More than 1.2 million drivers across NSW will earn back one demerit point as part of the government's return scheme.More than 1.2 million drivers across New South Wales have had a demerit point wiped off their record as a reward for 12-months of good behaviour.
Drivers from Sydney's west, who are typically more car-reliant, featured in five of the top 10 LGA's — meaning 290,287 demerit points were scrapped from people living in Blacktown, Canterbury-Bankstown, Cumberland, Liverpool and Parramatta LGA's."They have also been the place we've seen the biggest lift in safety. And as a result, more people have had their demerit points wiped in those suburbs," Mr Graham said.
"This is a big community call out to people to drive safely... 1.2 million drivers responded to that call and kept a spotless record for 12 months," Mr Graham said.He said extending the program for another year should bring relief to professional drivers who may have missed out. In the Canterbury-Bankstown area, 49,258 drivers qualified for the program, with 46,529 in the Northern Beaches, 36,460 in Sutherland and 33,815 in Lake Macquarie.State and Territory GovernmentJarome Luai staking his Origin claim as Panthers regroup after Isaah Yeo sin-binningGrowing up in tropical paradise, Sally amassed a large shell collection.
