7月1日起新州超速扣分制度将有变化

NEW demerit rules for speeding offences in NSW will be introduced next month, cutting the penalty for lesser offences from three points to one.Roads Minister Michael Daley says the new rules will come into effect on July 1.

据2009年6月15日澳联社报道，从下个月起，新州对超速驾驶违规者实行新的扣分制度，对轻微超速的扣分将从原先的3分减为扣1分。

具体的扣分规定如下：

Up to 10km/h over the speed limit - one demerit point and an $84 fine.

11 to 20km/h over the limit - three points and a $197 fine.

21 to 30km/h over the limit - four points and a $338 fine.

31 to 45km/h over - three month suspension, five points and a $647 fine.

More than 45km/h over - six month suspension, six points and a $1,744 fine.

But for P2 drivers, penalties for even a tiny breach of the speed limit will be increased.
