Open licence demerit points
If you hold a Queensland open licence you may receive a warning letter when you gain at least seven demerit points in a three-year period.
If 12 or more demerit points are recorded against your traffic history in a three-year period, you will be sent an 'Accumulation of Demerit Points — Notice to Choose'.
This notice will require you to choose between:
•having your open licence suspended for a requisite period
or
•agreeing to continue driving under a period of good behaviour for one year.
If you choose to continue driving under a period of good driving behaviour for one year, you may keep your current licence provided that you do not gain more than one demerit point during the one-year period. If you accumulate two or more demerit points during this period, your licence will be suspended for double the suspension period that would have applied had you taken the licence suspension in the first place.
