Design flaws in mobile phone and seatbelt cameras that unfairly applied double-demerit points to certain offenders has prompted an independent review.
The fault resulted in drivers having double demerit points incorrectly applied for a passenger seatbelt offence captured by the cameras between 1 November 2021 and 31 August 2023.
For some people this resulted in their licence being suspended incorrectly or drivers serving a “good driving behaviour period”.
