How many demerit points does failing to give way attract in the ACT?

The answer

  • 2 points
  • 3 points Correct
  • 6 points
  • 1 point

Why that's the answer

Failing to give way is 3 demerit points, the same as disobeying a traffic signal or careless driving. Do not read the schedule as fixed: the ACT has since split phone offences, and messaging or using social media while driving now carries more than holding a phone does.
