Double demerit points will be in force across the state due to the Anzac Day long weekend.

The double demerit period will operate from Friday, April 24 to Monday, April 27, and will be in place for all speeding, seatbelt, mobile phone and motorcycle helmet offences.

Drivers have been reminded not to be complacent throughout the period.

Under the Road Transport (Driver Licensing) Regulation 2017, double demerit periods automatically apply over a long weekend when a public holiday falls on a Thursday or Friday, or a Monday or Tuesday.

The double demerit period extends to the day before a public holiday to account for an increase in road users, with many people taking the opportunity to enjoy a long weekend.
