Repeat offenders will pay the same $368, but will receive escalating penalty points for each offence within 12 months: 2nd offence: $368 + $520 in penalty points = $888 5th offence: $368 + $3760 in penalty points = $4,128 10th offence: $368 + $14,520 in penalty points = $14,888 Repeat offenders will also face an automatic licence review, which could result in a driving prohibition of three to 12 months. Drivers in the graduated licencing program will have their licences reviewed after a first offence. Reactions: Ron505
