‘(6) For the purposes of subsection 180NB (1) of the Act, the prescribed number of demerit points in respect of a corresponding offence (in this subregulation referred to as an ‘inter-State offence’) is—
(a)except where paragraph (b) applies—the number of demerit points specified in column 5 of the item in Part II of the Schedule that relates to the offence to which the inter-State offence corresponds; and
(b)in the case of an inter-State offence under the law of New South Wales—double the number of demerit points so specified.’; and
