Queensland Traffic Law FAQs

Common questions about QLD drink driving, work licences, and special hardship orders

Can I get a work licence if I'm charged with drink driving in Queensland?
Yes. Queensland offers restricted work licences under Section 87 of TORUM (Transport Operations Road Use Management Act). If you meet strict eligibility criteria, you may be able to drive for work-related purposes only during your disqualification period. We can assess your eligibility and guide you through the application process.
What is a Special Hardship Order in Queensland?
A Special Hardship Order applies only in specific situations: if you've been charged with high-range speeding (over 40km above the limit) or have breached your good behaviour licence due to demerit points. If eligible and severe hardship can be demonstrated, you may continue driving for essential purposes like employment, medical appointments, or childcare.
What are the drink driving penalties in Queensland?
Queensland drink driving penalties vary based on your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) and prior history. Low range (.05-.099) may result in fines and short disqualification. Mid range (.10-.149) typically means higher fines and longer disqualification. High range (.15+) can lead to serious fines, lengthy disqualification, and possible imprisonment. We help minimize penalties and explore all available options.
Do you attend courts throughout Queensland?
Yes. We regularly appear in all 139 Queensland courthouses from Brisbane and Southport to Cairns, Townsville, Mackay, Rockhampton, Toowoomba, and regional courts throughout the state. We understand local court procedures and have relationships with magistrates across Queensland.
What is the Traffic Offenders Program and should I complete it?
The Traffic Offenders Program is an educational program approved by Queensland Transport that demonstrates your commitment to rehabilitation. Completing it before your court date can positively influence the magistrate's decision on your penalty. We strongly recommend it for most drink driving and serious traffic matters in Queensland.
Can I avoid a criminal conviction for drink driving in QLD?
Yes, it's possible. Queensland magistrates have discretion to not record a conviction even if you plead guilty or are found guilty. This depends on factors like your personal circumstances, prior history, and the strength of your case presentation. We've successfully helped many clients avoid convictions that would impact their careers and future opportunities.
How long will I lose my licence for drink driving in QLD?
First-time offenders face: low range (.05-.099) 1-9 months disqualification, mid range (.10-.149) 3-12 months, and high range (.15+) 6 months and higher. Repeat offenders are subject to significantly longer disqualification periods and more serious penalties. With proper representation and applications for work licences or special hardship orders, we can help you maintain essential driving privileges during disqualification.
What should I bring to my first consultation about my QLD traffic matter?
Please bring your Notice to Appear, QP9 document (police brief of evidence), driver's licence, any prior traffic history, employment letter or payslips, and any documents supporting your circumstances (medical reports, program completion certificates). If you don't have everything yet, we can help you obtain police documents and start building your case immediately.
