The Wave Stage 3

Transport and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2026

This bill makes wide-ranging changes to Queensland's road safety laws, mostly targeting drink and drug driving with a new combined offence, higher penalties, minimum court fines, and a compulsory education program for drug drivers. It also introduces on-the-spot licence suspensions for high-range speeding caught by police, lets drivers nominate the actual offending passenger for camera-detected seatbelt fines, and stops private car park operators from using the vehicle register to chase parking debts.
