sec.281 Persons given notice to choose then Queensland driver licence expires or is surrendered

This section applies in relation to a person who is given a notice to choose. Subsection (3) applies if, within the choice period— the person’s Queensland driver licence expires or is surrendered; and the person is granted another Queensland driver licence (a new licence ). Sections 265 and 266 continue to apply in relation to the person, and the notice to choose continues in effect for the person, as if a reference in the sections or the notice to the person’s Queensland driver licence were a reference to the new licence. If, within the choice period, the person’s Queensland driver licence expires or is surrendered and the person is not granted another Queensland driver licence— the notice to choose stops having effect; and the person is not eligible to hold a Queensland driver licence for the relevant period; and the person is not authorised to drive, or learn to drive, on a Queensland road under a non-Queensland driver licence for the relevant period. Subsection (6) applies if— the person’s Queensland driver licence is suspended under section 265 (2) ; and the licence expires or is surrendered during the period of the suspension. From the day the person’s Queensland driver licence expires or is surrendered until the end of the period of the suspension the person— is not eligible to hold a Queensland driver licence; and is not authorised to drive, or learn to drive, on a Queensland road under a non-Queensland driver licence. In this section— relevant period means the period— starting on the day after the last day of the choice period; and that is equivalent to the length of the period the person’s Queensland driver licence would have been suspended under section 265 (2) if that section applied in relation to the person.
