Double demerits will be enforced over the Australia Day long weekend, starting at 12:01 am Friday and lasting until Monday night. Offenders face severe penalties, with speeding resulting in up to 14 demerit points and phone use while driving leading to eight points. Police in Western Australia will be actively patrolling to ensure road safety, as the state has already seen 13 road fatalities this year, with a significant number involving motorcyclists. Authorities urge all drivers to prioritize safety and avoid risky behaviors to prevent further tragedies.
