Kelly Annand

Kelly Annand is the general manager of the driving safety and licensing programme at Connect Youth and Community Trust. With over six years of experience in the field, she has frequently appeared in court to assist clients with driver-related issues. Annand has expressed concerns regarding proposed changes to the demerit points system for learner and restricted drivers, fearing that reducing the threshold from 100 to 50 could lead to unintended consequences, including increased court appearances and potential unsafe driving behaviors. She emphasizes the need for careful consideration of safety versus efficiency in any licensing reforms.
