Driving On A Foreign Licence
If you hold a foreign driver’s licence, you are authorized to drive in Queensland. However, that authority may be withdrawn if you have a residence visa and have been a resident in Australia for at least three months. If you have an interstate driver’s licence, the authority to drive on that licence will be withdrawn after you have been living in Queensland for three months. Recently, a client of Mark Howden’s was charged with unlicensed driving. However she was able to prove that she was on a working holiday visa, and that she had a UK driver’s licence. The police agreed to withdraw the charge.
