We use the term ‘licence sanctions and consequences’ as a way to describe the penalties that apply for breaking the road rules or the conditions of your licence. For example, if you commit a speeding offence of 25km/h over the speed limit, a consequence is that you will be fined $420, and allocated 4 demerit points for that offence. A list of demerit points is available on our website at https://www.qld.gov.au/transport/safety/fines/demerit/points. Licence sanctions, such as suspension, are another kind of penalty that can be applied. If you have a learner licence and accumulate 4 or more demerit points in a one year period, you would face additional consequences, which could involve having your licence suspended for three months.
