p plate demerit points qld

On P plates in Queensland, the demerit-point leash is short and not terribly forgiving.

P1 and P2 drivers have a limit of 4 demerit points in any 12‑month period; hit it and you’re staring at suspension or a “good behaviour” year with a razor-thin points allowance.

Learners sit on the same 4‑point cap, and repeat offences of the same type within 12 months can cop doubled demerits in QLD.

Phone-in-hand and seatbelt slackness are hammered, so the points add up faster than you can say “I was only checking Maps”.

The cap is measured over a 12‑month period; stay under it and you won’t trip the sanctions—simple, if slightly dull.
