Ah, double demerits in NSW—the government's not-so-subtle nudge to keep you off your phone and not treat speed limits like mere suggestions. During certain holiday periods and long weekends, the demerit points you rack up for traffic offences are doubled. It’s a lovely way of saying, "One mistake, double the punishment." This applies to speeding, seatbelt offences, and other common blunders that could otherwise ruin your week.
For instance, if you normally get 3 points for speeding, during double demerit periods, you'd get 6. Accumulate too many points, and your licence could vanish faster than your weekend plans. Keep an eye on Transport for NSW announcements or ServiceCentral for updates on when these periods kick in.
