Getting License Back!

[SCR48]

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

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.

You won't find many people here stupid enough to drink drive, so finding someone with the knowledge you seek will be hard.

Unfortunately everyone makes mistakes...

All it takes is one.

That is why I held back. Hopefully you learnt from the experience

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).

Iust spoke with QT and was advised that i go back onto my green P's for 12months.

Cant drive between 11pm-5am

0.00 Alcohol limit

4 points instead of 12

I also asked about being able to drive turbo cars and V8's and they said that you can still drive these vehicles

Also you dont need to display green P plates

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

afaik 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

Thats the number i called.... Unfortunately it was a dumb option and poor lack of judgement which will not happen again..

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

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.

Straight from QLD transport

Thats weird cause my make lost his lincense by points and went back to these P rules, however things may have changed i guess... Good to know

[Kenna802]

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.

[red_screamer]

i got done for some silly driving and got done for dangerous driving, pritty poor effort mind you.. court disqual and i got my licence before all that crap to...

no restrictions apart from that

11pm-5am thing on 1 point
