Example
A person who elects to extend the demerit point period has their driver licence suspended for 3 months for a driving offence that does not attract demerit points. The person had incurred 16 demerit points at the time of the demerit point option notice and, under section 40(2) faces an 8 month suspension under this Division. The Corporation may determine that the 8 month suspension under this Division takes effect on the same day as that on which the 3 month suspension takes effect, allowing the 2 suspensions to operate concurrently.".
