Queensland Numbered Acts

TRANSPORT LEGISLATION (ROAD SAFETY AND OTHER MATTERS) AMENDMENT ACT 2019 - SECT 37

37 Amendment of s 90D (Other matters about cumulative periods of disqualification)

Section 90D —
insert—

(3) Further, sections 90B and 90C apply for a period of disqualification despite any provision of this Act or another Act that states the period of disqualification takes effect from a particular time.

Example for subsection (3)—

A person is convicted of an offence under section 79(1) and under section 86(1) is disqualified from holding or obtaining a Queensland driver licence for a period of 6 months from the date of the conviction. Three months after the person’s conviction, the person is convicted of a subsequent offence under section 79(1) and under section 86(1A) is disqualified from holding or obtaining a Queensland driver licence for a period of 1 year from the date of the subsequent conviction.
Despite the reference in section 86(1A) to the 1 year disqualification period applying from the date of the conviction, the 1 year disqualification period applies cumulatively after the end of the 6 month disqualification period for the earlier conviction.
