There's a million other ways to better kickstart your long weekend than losing your license and copping a $1000 fine.

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.
