In the state of NSW, there are certain periods such as long
weekends etc. where if a traffic offence is committed, the double demerits
provisions apply. Traditionally, double demerit points were enforced during the
following holiday periods in NSW (to name a few as this list is not
exhaustive):
1. Christmas and New Year:
The double demerit period generally starts a few days before Christmas and
continues until a few days into the New Year.
2. Easter: The
double demerit period usually begins a few days before Good Friday and extends
until the end of Easter Monday.
3. Anzac Day:
Double demerits are commonly applied from a few days before Anzac Day, which is
on April 25th, until the end of the long weekend.
4. King s Birthday:
The double demerit period usually covers the long weekend surrounding the
King s Birthday public holiday.
It’s worth noting that the specific dates and the
applicability of double demerit points can vary from year to year in NSW, so
it’s important to check the latest information from the official sources, such
as Service NSW or Revenue NSW or even the NSW Government website (or even their
social media pages), for the most accurate, updates and the most current
information regarding double demerits.
