Alcohol and drug affected driving are serious offences and carry tough penalties, especially for repeat offenders.
Certain driving offences incur demerit points. If you accumulate 100 or more demerit points in any two-year period, your licence can be suspended for three months.
At the end of a suspension or disqualification, you need to vist a driver licensing agent to apply to get your licence back.
