There's a million other ways to better kickstart your long weekend than losing your license and copping a $1000 fine.
A 51 year-old man was caught speeding in Perth's northern suburbs on Friday at 83km/h in a 40km/h zone, more than double the speed limit.
The driver was slapped with seven demerit points - doubled instantly to 14 - suspending his license in one hit and rolling over onto any subsequent licence he might hold.
In NSW drivers have 14 demerit points to use but in WA they only have 12.
The man was driving a Toyota Rav4, and was caught on Hester Avenue and Wanneroo Road in Ridgewood.
Double demerit points started at midnight on Friday and will end at 11.59pm on Monday.
Police can impound the cars of drivers who exceed the speed limit by more than 45km/h.
