Western Australian Current Acts Western Australian Current Acts (1) This section
describes what is to happen if this Division requires that demerit point
action be taken against a person for a demerit point offence.
(2) Whether or not
this State is the demerit point registry jurisdiction for the person, the CEO
is to cause the demerit point offence and the number of demerit points that
apply to be recorded against that person in the demerit points register.
(3) If another
jurisdiction is the demerit point registry jurisdiction for the person and the
offence is a national demerit point offence, the CEO is to provide information
about the offence to the Australian driver licensing authority for that
jurisdiction as if it had sought that information under the
Road Traffic (Administration) Act 2008 section 13A.
(4) If the offence is
an offence under a road law that is a national demerit point offence and it
appears to the CEO that the person against whom demerit point action is
required to be taken usually resides in a jurisdiction other than this State
that is not the demerit point registry jurisdiction for the person, the CEO is
to provide information about the offence to the Australian driver licensing
authority for that jurisdiction as if it had sought the information under the
Road Traffic (Administration) Act 2008 section 13A.
(5) This section does
not prevent the CEO from providing information under the
Road Traffic (Administration) Act 2008 section 13A in other circumstances.
