Wondering when double demerits kick in for Christmas and New Year?

In NSW during double demerit periods, you'll face losing double the points for getting caught doing the following: speeding, using a mobile phone illegally, riding without a helmet, not wearing or incorrectly wearing a seatbelt or carrying passengers not wearing or incorrectly wearing a seatbelt or restraint.
In WA, driving a motor vehicle fitted with a speed camera-evading device, or driving in a manner to evade speed cameras, will incur 14 points during a double demerit period. Rather than having them in place for all drivers around public holidays, the Sunshine State instead keeps them in effect year-round, but only for drivers who commit the same offence twice in the space of 12 months.
