Half-price licences for safe drivers ditched in NSW

Under the "Fair Go for Safe Drivers Scheme", full licenced drivers who haven't collected a demerit point or conviction in the past five years can renew for half-price, saving up to $181.

But the scheme will end on June 30, if the coalition is re-elected, according to a statement on page 30 of the NSW half-yearly budget review.
