Four days of double demerits – October 2024 long weekend

Motorists be aware, double demerit points will be in place over the upcoming October long weekend commencing on Friday 4 October 2024 and ending on Monday 7 October 2024 at midnight.

Double demerit points apply for the whole 4-day period with police targeting speeding, not wearing seatbelts, illegal mobile phone use and motorcyclists not wearing helmets.

The upcoming October long weekend also coincides with the New South Wales School holiday period and Police are appealing to road users to stay safe on the road during the school holidays, with the aim of keeping the road toll at zero during this holiday period.

NSW Police will be out in force to ensure that everyone arrives at their destination safely and have advised that motorists should anticipate heavier traffic on our roads during the school holiday period.
