This section applies to a person who applies for a lower class licence if the person—
holds a heavy vehicle class Queensland driver licence (the current licence), or has held a heavy vehicle class Queensland driver licence (the previous licence) within the period of 5 years before the person applies for the lower class licence; and
is eligible for the lower class licence under this division.
The person is eligible for a lower class licence that is the same category and type as the current licence or previous licence.
Subsection (4) applies if the person—
has been disqualified from holding or obtaining a driver licence; and

has not held a probationary licence, or a non-Queensland driver licence that corresponds to a probationary licence, for a total period of at least 1 year since the person’s period of disqualification ended.
Despite subsection (2)—
the only category of Queensland driver licence the person is eligible for is a probationary licence; and
if the person’s previous licence was an open licence—the person is eligible for a P probationary licence only.
