Facebook groups in Australia are facilitating the illegal sale of driver's licence demerit points and infringements.
A Facebook group called 'Clearing demerit points and fines' was created to offer these services nationwide, with an admin collecting fines and demerit points from drivers.
The NSW government established a task force to address the issue of demerit points transfer, especially to international licence holders, with penalties reaching thousands of dollars and potential jail time.
Recent measures include a new law requiring international licence holders in NSW to switch to a local licence after three months, along with enhanced collaboration with Australian Border Force to curb the illegal trading of demerit points.
