Helmet offences are not demerit point offences.
Unlike other jurisdictions the NT fines and demerit points are in the Traffic Regulations
In other jurisdictions offence descriptions and meanings have become distorted over time. Originally the descriptions and details were included in the road rules or traffic acts and so the meanings were clear.
The volume of offences and the number of officials who needed access to the information increased and so the penalties and descriptions were moved to separate legislation and the practice of using "short descriptions" in the penalty legislation began.
This now means the infringement notices as issued may mean other than what they state. The offence and penalty legislation have clauses which state in effect that the short description means the same as the long description contained in the regulations.
Notes
Motorcycle helmet offences are not a category in the Australian Bureau of Statistics system unlike bicycle helmets.
NT, unlike other jurisdictions, recognise separate proscribed offences with differing levels of penalty are needed but have not realised that visor offences should be a defect notice rather than a fine as per car windscreen tinting.
Use of the defect system means the ACCC can be alerted to retailers selling visors not complying to the standards.
