Qld and WA Demerits
Guys
I have not had a good 24 hours. In Brisbane I may have run a red light camera. Defo not on red but close. One of those genuine should I shouldn't I ones.
Anyway also found myself speeding in the new tunnel.
No excuses (well I do but thats not the point)
Anyway how long do demerits take to come through in Qld? Bear in mind I was in a rental.
Also in WA on long weekends we get double demerits. Is this the case in Qld? I couldn't find anything on the website.
In WA, does anyone know the disqual period for 12 points?
If all the worst case scenarios I could be in trouble.

There are no 'double demerit' periods in QLD. However this may not help you, the deal with interstate fines is as follows:
The state where you offend issues the fine. You pay them the $$ figure THEY specify for the offence committed. The offence details are forwarded to the licencing state (WA in your case) - and the licencing state apply whatever penalty points are required for the offence committed as mandated by their rules.
In this way when I, a couple of years ago got pinged doing 12kph over the limit in NSW on an Easter Friday, I paid the ~$300 fine to NSW - but instead of being issued the 6 points (3 for being 12kph over - double for public holiday) I got 1 point (less than 13kph over) on my licence.
Good luck!

Us in Qld remember are at least 10 yrs behind the rest of Oz so that gives you loads of time to save before you get the summons

If so, for my sins, WA carry less points so I may be very lucky.
Thanks for giving me hope
