Ah, double demerits in New South Wales—because nothing says "fun" like your licence points vanishing twice as fast. Essentially, during certain holiday periods and long weekends, traffic offences attract double the usual demerit points. This is designed to scare drivers into better behaviour when the roads get busier and more dangerous.
Typical double demerit periods include: Easter, Christmas/New Year, and Australia Day long weekends.
Be warned: speeding, mobile phone use, seatbelt offences, and the usual suspects all attract double points. Accumulating too many means a licence suspension faster than you can say "I was only going five over." For the nitty-gritty, check out ServiceCentral or the NSW Roads and Maritime Services website.
