I have seen this briefly mentioned in one or two other threads but thought I'd put it here so it may be easier to find.
I've had my learner rider for a bit over a month and a half now and had been wondering this since I got it.
Full car license but learner rider license.....how do the demerit points work???
The following is directly from my "My RTA" records;
You currently hold the following licence class(es):
Class C Unrestricted
Class R Learner
You have a total of 0 demerit point(s) on your licence.
Both licence classes will be suspended if your total demerit points reach or exceed 13.
The Learner class only will be suspended if you reach or exceed 4 points for offences committed while using the Learner class.
Interpret as you will but I see it as this;
-I only accrue demerit points on my riders license if Im on my bike (i.e. - in car and accrue points I can still accrue 4 points on my bike before losing my riders license)
-If I lose my car license, I lose both licenses.
-If I accrue points whilst on my bike they are also accrued on my car license
It is not by any means absolutely clear and so DO NOT TAKE WHAT I SAY AS GOSPEL
If someone knows more definitively or interprets it differently please comment.
