Double demerits start on multiple occasions throughout the year, typically around public holidays and long weekends. For the remainder of 2025, the significant double demerit starting dates include:
- Labour Day long weekend: Friday, 3 October 2025 (to Monday, 6 October 2025)
- Christmas to New Year period: Wednesday, 24 December 2025 (to Sunday, 4 January 2026)
Double demerits apply from midnight at the start date until midnight at the end date and affect offenses such as speeding, illegal mobile phone use, not wearing a seatbelt, and riding without a motorcycle helmet. Drivers should take extra care during these periods to avoid double penalty points on their licenses.
