SCR48 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Hi Guys..... Just wondering if anyone knows or has info to help me. I lost my license in November for DD and get it back at the end of March. When i lost it i was on my Opens for 2 months. I have been told that when i get my license back i go back on green P's and ahve to wear the green P plates etc... When i was on my P's orginally i got it before the P'pates rules about drving turbo cars and wearing the plates came in.. Any clarification would be great Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/306468-getting-license-back/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nismo_Boy Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 You know it's ALOT easier calling QLD transport and getting the 100% correct answer, then reading hear-say on a forum. If you lost an open license you get an open license back*, unless something has changed - refer to calling QLD transport.

The Dan Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 You won't find many people here stupid enough to drink drive, so finding someone with the knowledge you seek will be hard.

mad082 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 now i'm not 100% sure about this, and you would be best of checking with qld transport, but i do recall a mate of mine having a whinge when he lost his licence a few years back that he wouldn't be able to drive his 180sx when he got his licence back because he had to be on his p's for 6 or 12 months after getting his licence back (despite having been on his opens before he lost his licence) and the vehicle restrictions were going to apply to him (this was when they first brought them in in qld).

Parag0n Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 In future just call 13 23 80, it's not a good idea letting everyone on the forum know that you were done for Drink Driving Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/306468-getting-license-back/#findComment-5069155 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCR48 Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 In future just call 13 23 80, it's not a good idea letting everyone on the forum know that you were done for Drink Driving Thats the number i called.... Unfortunately it was a dumb option and poor lack of judgement which will not happen again.. QTFafaik as long as turbo is stock in qld you can drive one. You shouldn't go down from Open to P's even if done for DD.... I'm gonna look into that tomorrow Supposedly now if you loose your license be it by DD or loss of demerit points you go back to a 12 P license even if you had your opens when it was lost Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/306468-getting-license-back/#findComment-5070175 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna look into that tomorrow Just called Queensland Transport then; If you have had your license cancelled, EG: DD, you went to court and it was ruled you get a cancellation for 6months for example, then yes you would go back to P’s for 12 months. However, if your license was suspended, say from loss of points then no, you do not get put back onto your P’s.

Kenna802 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I agree everyone makes mistakes just remember if you have a big night Don't drive the next day!!!. I got told that depending on what sentence you get depends how long you are on your P plates for.
