Drivers are being urged to take extra care on the roads, with double demerits in force for the Easter long weekend.
Double demerits will apply from 12am on Thursday, March 28, until 11:59pm on Monday, April 1.
Double demerits will be in place for all speeding, seatbelt, mobile phone and motorcycle helmet offences.
Drivers are 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.
