The maximum number of demerit points allowed depends on the type of driver's licence and jurisdiction. For example, in New South Wales, Australia:
- Unrestricted licence holders can have up to 13 demerit points.
- Professional drivers can have up to 14 points.
- Provisional P2 licence holders can have up to 7 points.
- Provisional P1 licence holders and learner licence holders can have up to 4 points.
If you exceed the limit, your licence may be suspended. Other regions like South Australia and New Zealand have different limits, such as 12 points leading to disqualification within a 3-year period or 100 points within 2 years for a suspension (different systems have different thresholds). It is important to check the specific rules in the relevant jurisdiction as limits and consequences vary.
