Double demerit points will be in effect starting this week. This means that if you are caught breaking road rules during public holidays or long weekends, you will receive double the usual amount of demerit points. It’s important to stay extra cautious and adhere to all traffic laws to avoid accumulating too many points on your driving record.
During double demerit periods, common traffic offenses such as speeding, using a mobile phone while driving, not wearing a seatbelt, and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs can result in more severe consequences. These points can add up quickly and may lead to hefty fines, license suspension, or even disqualification.
To avoid getting caught up in the double demerit points system, make sure to follow all road regulations, drive safely, and stay vigilant on the roads. It’s always better to arrive a little late than to risk your safety and the safety of others by engaging in reckless driving behaviors.
Remember, double demerit points are implemented to encourage responsible driving habits and reduce road accidents during peak holiday periods. So, plan your journeys carefully, obey the speed limits, and prioritize safety while behind the wheel. Let’s all work together to make our roads safer for everyone.
