NoteLearner licence, provisional licence, restricted licence, and probationary licence are defined in the dictionary to the Act as follows:

probationary licence means—
(a)a driver licence, other than a learner licence, issued under this Act to a person who applies for a driver licence after a period of disqualification (whether or not by court order) from holding or obtaining an Australian driver licence; or
(b)a driver licence issued with an interlock condition under the Road Transport (Driver Licensing) Regulation 2000, s 73W; or
(c)an equivalent Australian driver licence issued under a corresponding law.
Conditional and public vehicle licences
(1)A full licence may also be issued as, or may be varied to become also, a conditional licence, a public vehicle licence or both.
(2)A learner, restricted, probationary or provisional licence may also be issued as, or may be varied to become also, a conditional licence.
NoteConditional licence and public vehicle licence are defined in the Act, dictionary as follows:
· conditional licence means an Australian driver licence that is subject to a condition imposed by the road transport authority or the licensing authority of another jurisdiction; and
· public vehicle licence means a driver licence that authorises the person to drive a public vehicle for hire or reward.
Driver licence classes, class codes and class short descriptions

Note 2Section 69 deals with the application procedure and s 70 sets out when an application can be refused. If an application is not refused under s 70, it must be approved unless s 71 applies (see s 72).
Note 3If a person applies for a licence for which the person is not eligible to apply, s 71 allows the road transport authority, with the person’s agreement, to deal with the application as if it were an application for a licence for which the person is eligible.
Duration of varied licence
A driver licence issued to a person under section 43 must be issued for the remainder of the period of the driver licence that it replaces.
Division 3.7 Restricted licences
Eligibility to apply to Magistrates Court for order authorising issue of restricted licence
(1)A person is eligible to apply to the Magistrates Court for an order authorising the road transport authority to issue a restricted licence to the person if the person is disqualified from holding or obtaining an Australian driver licence under the road transport legislation or any other territory law.
(2)However, the person is not eligible to apply if a provision of the road transport legislation provides that a person is not entitled to apply for a restricted licence in relation to the disqualification.
Note 1A person is not eligible to apply for a restricted licence if any of the following provisions of the Road Transport (General) Act 1999 apply to the person:
· s 66A (which is about disqualification in another jurisdiction)
· s 67 (which is about disqualification of repeat offenders)
· s 67A (which is about disqualification of first offenders)
· s 67B (which is about disqualification until a court orders otherwise)
· s 67C (which is about disqualification while holding a restricted licence)
· s 88 (4) (which is about suspension or disqualification for default in payment of an outstanding fine).
Note 2A person is also not eligible to apply for a restricted licence if either of the following provisions of this regulation applies to the person:
· s 130 (6) (b) (which is about the disqualification from holding a licence by a person who incurs 2 or more demerit points while holding a restricted licence)
· s 133 (2) (b) (which is about the disqualification from holding a licence by a person who incurs 2 or more demerit points while holding a probationary licence).
Application for order authorising issue of restricted licence
(1)An application by a person for an order authorising the road transport authority to issue a restricted licence to the person must be supported by an affidavit of the person setting out the grounds of the application.
(2)The respondents to the application are the road transport authority and the chief police officer.
Circumstances in which court may give order authorising issue of restricted licence
(1)The Magistrates Court may make an order authorising the road transport authority to issue a restricted licence to a person only if the person establishes that there are exceptional circumstances justifying the issue of the licence.
(2)In deciding whether exceptional circumstances exist, the court must have regard to the following:
(a)the person’s history of offences (including offences for which infringement notices were served on the person)—
(i)against the road transport legislation or a law of another jurisdiction corresponding to it (or to any provision of it); or
(ii)against another law of any jurisdiction in relation to the use of motor vehicles;
(b)any relevant rehabilitation or remedial action undertaken, or to be undertaken, by the person;
(c)the risk to the safety of other road users;
(d)the likelihood that the person, or anyone else affected by the outcome of the application, would suffer or incur any inconvenience or loss (actual or potential) that would be unreasonable if a restricted licence were not to be issued to the person;
(e)whether it would be unreasonable for the person to use an alternative means of transport, including public transport, if a restricted licence were not to be issued to the person;
(f)the likelihood of the person’s health, or the health of a dependant of the person, suffering or being put at risk if a restricted licence were not to be issued to the person;
(g)the likelihood of the person complying with any conditions of a restricted licence.
NoteAn infringement notice includes a notice (however described) served on a person under the law of another jurisdiction that gives the person the option of paying an amount for an offence instead of being charged with the offence (see Act, dict, def infringement notice).
(3)Subsection (2) does not limit the matters to which the court may have regard.
Authority by court to issue restricted licence
(1)An order made by the Magistrates Court authorising the road transport authority to issue a restricted licence to a person must state—
(a)the class of driver licence for which the restricted licence may be issued; and
NoteThe classes of driver licence are set out in s 7.
(b)the expiry date of the restricted licence.
(2)The class of driver licence stated by the court must be a class for which the person satisfies the eligibility requirements.
(3)The expiry date stated by the court must be the date when, or a date before, the person’s disqualification from holding or obtaining a driver licence ends.
(4)The court may include in the order conditions to which the restricted licence is to be subject.
(5)Without limiting subsection (4), the conditions may include conditions about any of the following matters:
(a)the times and days when the person may drive;
(b)the journeys that the person may undertake;
(c)the purposes for which the person may drive;
(d)the consumption of alcohol, or use of a drug, by the person.
Issue of restricted licence by road transport authority
(1)A person is eligible to apply to the road transport authority for the issue of a restricted licence if the Magistrates Court has made an order authorising the road transport authority to issue a restricted licence to the person.
(2)The road transport authority may not refuse to approve the application on a ground that was considered by the Magistrates Court in making the order.
NoteSection 70 deals with when an application for a driver licence can be refused.
(3)If the road transport authority approves an application by a person for a restricted licence of a particular class, the authority must issue a restricted licence of that class to the person.
NoteThe road transport authority must not issue a restricted licence to a person if s 73E (2) or s 73N (2) applies.
