Double Demerits start in WA this festive season on 23 December
2016 and run until 8 January 2016.
Every year, the traffic law team at HHG is asked to help many
people who have fallen foul of the demerit point system.
During this time if anyone in your car isn't wearing a
seatbelt you will lose 8 demerit points, touching your phone will
earn you a 6 demerit point deduction and speeding just 10
kilometers over the limit will cost you 4 demerit points.
Even if you start the silly season with all 12 of your demerit
points it will be very easy to lose your license.
Double or Nothing
If you get more than 12 demerit points (and that isn't hard
to do during double demerits) you will need to make a careful
choice as to whether to gamble on your ability to drive for an
entire year without earning even one demerit point or just take a 3
month suspension on the chin.
