More than a million motorists are set to get a demerit point back in five weeks as long as they don’t commit any driving offences within that time frame.
Almost 1.1million NSW drivers will have a demerit point scrubbed from their record on January 16 if they have not broken any road rules for the past 12 months.
Premier Chris Minns introduced a trial scheme to reward good driver behaviour to help tackle the state’s increased road toll.
In NSW, motorists can get up to 13 demerit points before their unrestricted licence is cancelled by authorities.

And to encourage even more safe driving over the Christmas and New Year period, the government has released a suburb breakdown of where drivers are on track to get a demerit point back, The Daily Telegraph reported.
Some NSW suburbs have thousands of drivers poised to have a demerit point scrubbed from their record – but some suburbs have only one motorist on track.
The Central Coast will be the state’s biggest beneficiary, with 54,971 drivers on track to have a point removed.
Another area that its residents rely on vehicles is Sydney’s west – and five of the top ten LGAs were located there.
