summary

Max Markson did speed driving over 20 times in last 20 months but he didn't lose his licence and demerit points at all. The reason of this that his company paid extra penalty for no nominating the driver in each offence.

Personal Reflection

The penalty for failing to nominate a driver has been doubled to $5500 for individual and $11.000 for a company since 19 April 2010. However, some people try to use a loop-hole in the law all the time so I think that the law should apply to further strengthen the provision to make fairness for everyone.
