Penalties

The Police regularly patrol the roads to deter and detect dangerous driving.

There are heavy penalties, including fines and on-the-spot licence suspensions, for drivers who are breaking the law. This section lists the basic fines and penalties but heavier fines are imposed for more serious offences. Licence demerit points also apply to NSW licence holders.
