Double demerits will be in full force in select states and territories this long weekend. Stuff up just once and you could lose your licence. We explain where double demerits apply and the various traffic offences that are included.

From September 2018, just touching your phone while you're driving could be enough for NSW drivers to lose their license.

Double Demerits are in full force between June 8 and 11 June, 2018. Here are the states and territories where you need to be extra careful on the road this weekend and the various offences that the scheme applies to.
