Double demerit points will be in force for two weekends in a row as a result of the Easter long weekend followed by a long weekend due to Anzac Day falling on a Friday.
For Easter, the double demerits will be in force from Thursday, April 17 until Monday, April 21.
Double demerits will apply from Thursday, April 24 to Sunday, April 27.
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.
