#demerit points

If you receive 4 or more demerit points within any 1 year period while you hold a Queensland learner class C licence, you will receive an ‘Accumulation of Demerit Points Notice of Driver Licence Suspension’ telling you that your licence has been suspended for 3 months.

You don’t have the option of a good driving behaviour period, nor can you apply for a special hardship order. You can’t drive during this time. If at the end of the suspension your licence has not expired or been cancelled or suspended for another reason, it is automatically reinstated. If it has expired, you need to renew it before driving again.

You can choose to begin your suspension before the date shown on the notice; however, some restrictions apply. Any period for which your learner licence is suspended will not be counted towards the 1 year period you need to hold it before applying for a provisional licence.
