If the period of the licence expires before the period of the suspension ends, the person must not apply for or obtain a Queensland driver licence until the period of the suspension ends. Maximum penalty—20 penalty units or 18 months imprisonment. The suspension of the driver licence also suspends any other driver licence authorising the person in question to drive a vehicle.
