qld drivers license points

In Queensland, you don’t “have” points—you collect demerit points like unwanted fridge magnets, and too many means trouble.

On an open licence, hit 12+ points within 3 years and you’re staring at suspension or a 12‑month good‑behaviour option.

Learners and provisional (P1/P2) have it tighter: 4+ points in 12 months triggers sanctions.

Breaching a good‑behaviour period is uglier—2 or more points and your licence is suspended.

Demerit points generally expire 3 years after the offence date, so they do eventually wander off.
