There's plenty of people with local licences who shouldn't be driving either. Almost anyone over 80 (there are exceptions, but they are the exceptions!) and some people who seem to have won their licence in a packet of cereal.

I can only think that there aren't a lot more accidents because there are a lot of very good drivers (who drive a lot) who can avoid accidents with said shockers. The number of near-misses I've had with people running red lights or cutting right turns in front of me, not to mention flying out of side streets without looking. Without good defensive driving skills I'd have had a dozen or more accidents, some serious.

Not that I'm perfect mind you! We can all have our moments I guess.

Wow thats impressive.

Slightly obssesive but normally demerit points are not lost but gained but most people describe it as losing points.


Anyone done time for excessive demerits?
 
However, I do believe that foreign nationals from countries with corrupt or non-existent licensing systems should not be allowed to drive in Australia (or anywhere else for that matter) without sitting an appropriate driving test.

This.

Where I am currently (Middle East), only drivers from countries with stringent licensing procedures, where you can't buy a license, are able to change over without a test. All others get one chance at a road test and if they fail that, have to start from zero.
