What is a Notice of Suspension?
There are a number of reasons why you may have received a Notice
of Suspension:
- You were caught exceeding the speed limit by more than 30 km/h;
or
- You have accumulated the maximum demerit points allowable;
or
- You have unpaid fines.
The Notice of Suspension contains information about the period
of suspension, when the suspension commences and concludes and
which offences have triggered the suspension. The notice also
advises that you may appeal the decision or elect to take the
matter to court. Importantly you have 28 days from the date you
receive the Notice of Suspension to lodge the appeal.
Provisional drivers are able to appeal all of the above
suspensions however those who hold an unrestricted licence cannot
appeal a demerit point suspension.
