"Although this is a sombre occasion, there is still likely to be more people out on the roads over the next few days and over the weekend with the school term ending on Friday, so it is important we all take extra care," Transport for NSW deputy secretary Tara McCarthy said.
Ms McCarthy said the double demerit period included some school days, reminding drivers to slow down and take extra care in school zones during school times.
