Someone did point out to me on another post that speed camera tickets get sent to the registered owner of the car, not the driver at the time, which makes sense why they don't hand out demerits for them.

Still I think it stands to reason making it slightly more painful for regular speeding tickets would at least discourage some from making it a habit, or at least change their habits once the amount starts piling up.

In NZ we can transfer fines to other people, why not demerits? Other countries handle it fine.

Don’t want demerits for when you’re not driving? Don’t let dickheads drive your car.

What if the vehicle isn't owned by an individual though?

In the UK, if a the registered owner is unable to name the driver, or unable to provide a satisfactory reason why they can’t, it’s a £1000 (~NZ$2000) fine.

I’m pretty sure some people might use company owned vehicles to get out of demerits, but it’s expensive.
