If you fail your practical driving assessment you can no longer drive in Queensland using your overseas licence. You can only use your
current overseas licence to complete another assessment. If you want to keep learning to drive on Queensland roads you must apply
for a Queensland learner licence.
You can continue to drive under the conditions of your existing learner/overseas licence but you cannot drive a higher class of vehicle
until your licence has been issued/upgraded. You can do this on the next business day at any Transport and motoring customer service
centre that provides licensing services. Bring your Driving Assessment Report, and EOI (including passport, overseas licence and
translation for overseas applicants).
Before you leave, make sure you discuss the areas where you need to improve with your Driving Examiner.
