Double demerit points are rolling out across NSW and the ACT for 12 festive days, from Wednesday 24 December 2025 to Sunday 4 January 2026, inclusive.
This applies to offences including speeding, illegal mobile phone use, seatbelt offences, and helmet non-compliance, with a much higher risk of licence suspension. Keep in mind that mobile phone detection cameras are active in NSW and the ACT and drivers caught using their phones during a double demerit period will be hit with a $423 fine ($562 in a school zone) and 10 demerits.
Please give yourself plenty of time to travel, obey speed limits, drive to the conditions, wear your seatbelt, avoid distractions, and make sure you’re well rested. If you’ve consumed alcohol or drugs, don’t drive.
Stay safe on the roads.
