If you have been charged with a serious traffic offence your Driver’s Licence may be suspended by the Queensland Transport Department or the Court. If you lose your driver’s licence you may be at risk of losing your job or business. The usual threats to a driver’s licence come from:- 1. Demerit point disqualification due to an accumulation of demerit points in excess of the allow amount for the type of driver’s licence that you hold; 2. Drink driving with a blood/alcohol concentration in excess of the allow amount for the type of driver’s licence that you hold; 3. Driving more than 40 km/h over the posted speed limit. Whilst these are the most common ways in which people may face a suspension or disqualification of a driver’s licence they are not the only ways. A Driver’s license can be suspended or disqualified for certain offences such as those referred to as the “anti-hoon” laws which usually consist of undue smoke or noise, racing or illegal vehicle modifications. Your driver’s licence can be suspended or disqualified as a result of driving when your driver’s licence is already suspended or disqualified by the State Penalties Enforcement Registry (SPER), the Queensland Transport Department or the Court.
