Question

Im disqualified from driving in the uk can i still drive in austrailia?

Answer 1

No, if your licence has been disqualified anywhere in the world you cannot legally drive here.

Driving Licences -

Tourists may drive in Australia on a valid overseas drivers licence for the same class of vehicle. (3 months maximum) Licences must be carried when driving, in addition to a valid passport. An International Drivers Permit is not sufficient by itself and must be accompanied by a valid drivers permit.

Answer 2

Contact www.rta.nsw.gov.au and ask them. They do all the licencing in New South Wales Australia.

Answer 3

You cannot drive in Australia on a foreign license if you are disqualified. Here are the Queensland rules, but they will be exactly the same for all states:

When am I not allowed to drive in Queensland on my foreign driver licence?

You must not drive in Queensland on your interstate or foreign driver licence if:

- you have been disqualified from holding or obtaining a driver licence by an order of an Australian court

- your authority to drive on the licence has been suspended or withdrawn.

If you already have an Australian licence which is still current, you also shouldn't drive, but it's difficult to know how Australian authorities would know about an overseas disqualification. Of course, if you were involved in a serious road incident, then they would find out and you would be in very serious trouble.

Answer 4

No,  If your license has been suspended, you no longer have driving privileges until you have them reinstated.
