The NSW Liberal Party is promising to waive minor traffic fines for drivers with a clean three-year record if it retains government at this year's state election.
Under the plan, drivers would be able to apply to have a fine for "low-level offences", which includes speeding offences under 10km/h and driving in a bus lane, waived from April 3.
It comes as NSW Labor promised to remove a demerit point from drivers who remain infringement free for 12 months yesterday.

School zone, heavy vehicle, red light, mobile phone and speeding offences above 10km/h will not be eligible under the government's scheme, given the serious safety risks involved.
Premier Dominic Perrottet said the initiative struck the right balance.
"For those motorists who have a history of safe driving, this initiative will save them potentially hundreds of dollars if they commit a minor road offence," Perrottet said.

Roads Minister Natalie Ward said enhancing road safety was at the core of the policy.
"Our expectation is that safe drivers should be rewarded, but it shouldn't just be a demerit point for everybody no matter what they do," Ward said.
The NRMA has supported both the Labor and Liberal schemes.
