Double demerits apply during long weekends, school holidays, and the Christmas/New Year period. All demerit points are doubled.
Queensland
Double demerits apply during designated holiday periods including Christmas, Easter, and other long weekends throughout the year.
Western Australia
Double demerits apply during public holiday periods including long weekends, Christmas, and Easter. All speeding demerit points are doubled.
