ROAD TRANSPORT (DRIVER LICENSING) ACT 1999 - SECT 24

Demerit points not affected by licence suspension etc under another law

    (1)     A period of licence suspension under this division is additional to, not concurrent with, any period of licence suspension otherwise imposed under this division or another territory law.

    (2)     A period of disqualification from holding or obtaining a driver licence under this division is additional to, not concurrent with, any period of disqualification or licence suspension otherwise imposed under this division or another territory law.

    (3)     Demerit points recorded in the demerit points register against a person are not affected by a period of licence suspension or disqualification imposed by a court in Australia or under part 3 or any other territory law.

    (4)     This section does not prevent the regulations from requiring the road transport authority to take into account an earlier period of suspension ended by a disqualification in deciding whether to issue a new driver licence to a person who has completed the period of disqualification.
