When a person receives an infringement notice for having exceeded the speed limit by more than 40 kilometres per hour, they will receive a letter from Queensland Transport advising them of a mandatory 6 month licence suspension. They may also receive a second letter advising that they have also accumulated too many demerit points, and asking them to choose between a separate 3 month suspension, and a 12 month Good Driving Behaviour Period.

If you haven't lost your licence for any reason (except State Penalties Enforcement Registry suspensions) within the last 5 years, you may be eligible to apply for a Special Hardship Licence. This licence permits you to drive for work or medical reasons only during your 6 month licence suspension period. It's important to note that Special Hardship Licence applications are intricate and necessitate detailed affidavit materials from both you and your employer, outlining specific information as stipulated in the relevant legislation. If your Special Hardship Licence application is unsuccessful, there's no option for appeal or reapplication.
