TRANSPORT OPERATIONS (ROAD USE MANAGEMENT--DRIVER LICENSING) REGULATION 2010 No. 206 - SECT 50

50 Eligibility if mental or physical incapacity likely to adversely affect ability to drive safely

(1) A person is not eligible for the grant or renewal of a Queensland driver licence if the chief executive reasonably believes the person has a mental or physical incapacity that is likely to adversely affect the person's ability to drive safely.

(2) However, the person is eligible for the grant or renewal of a Queensland driver licence if the chief executive reasonably believes that, by stating conditions on the licence, the person's incapacity is not likely to adversely affect the person's ability to drive safely.

Example--
A person with unstable night time vision has a certificate from a doctor stating the person can drive safely only during daylight. The chief executive may reasonably believe that by imposing a condition, for example, that the person may only drive during daylight, the person's incapacity is not likely to adversely affect the person's ability to drive safely.

(3) For this section, the chief executive may require the person to give the chief executive a certificate, in the approved form, from a stated type of health professional--

(a) stating the person does not have a mental or physical incapacity likely to affect the person's ability to drive safely; or
(b) providing information about the person's mental or physical incapacity that may allow the chief executive to form a belief as mentioned in subsection (2).
