Returning drivers who previously held a P2 or open licence are not required to complete the hazard perception test.  \nDo all overseas licence holders need to complete the HPT?  \nNo. Overseas licence holders only need to complete the HPT if they obtain a Queensland learner licence.  \nDo overseas licence holders who fail the practical driving test have to pass the HPT?  \nIf an overseas licence holder from an unrecognised country fails the practical driving test and wishes to obtain more supervised driving experience, they will be required to obtain a Queensland learner licence. They will need to complete the HPT before they can take the practical driving test again. These customers will not be required to hold their learner licence for 6 months before they can take the hazard perception test.  \nDo you have to hold a Queensland licence to take the HPT?  \nYes, you can only take the Queensland HPT if you hold a Queensland licence.  \nWill interstate HPTs be recognised?  \nWhile some jurisdictions have hazard perception tests in their licensing schemes, others do not and not all tests are the same. Due to the difficulty of recognising one jurisdiction and not another, other jurisdictions tests are not recognised in Queensland.  \nHow do customers who complete the HPT after the practical driving test upgrade their licence?  \nLearners who take the HPT after the practical driving test will need to apply in person and bring evidence of their identity to upgrade their licence.  \nAre there any exemptions to the 6-month learner licence tenure requirement, or the 16 year 6-month minimum age requirement for the HPT?  \nYes, there are some exemptions to the HPT learner licence tenure requirement and minimum age requirement. These relate to existing exemptions.  \nWhen a customer is granted an exemption to the 12-month learner licence tenure requirement through a special need (tenure) exemption, they are also exempt from the 6-month HPT tenure requirement.  \nCustomers who receive a special need (age rule) exemption and are exempted from the minimum age requirements to obtain a learner or P1 licence are also exempt from the 16 year 6-month minimum age requirement to take the HPT.  \nWhere can I go for more information?  \nMore information is available on the QGov website at [www.qld.gov.au/hazardperception](www.qld.gov.au/hazardperception).","cbCaiiVmgpp53PH8","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiVmgpp53PH8","pdf",123208,"English","# Updated Hazard Perception Test (HPT)\n## Who must complete the HPT?\n## Overseas licence holders and re-testing\n## Queensland licence requirement and recognition of tests\n## Upgrading a licence after completing the HPT\n## Exemptions to tenure and age requirements\n## Where to get more information","[{\"question\":\"Do all returning drivers need to complete the HPT?\",\"answer\":\"Returning drivers who have not held a licence for more than 5 years must only complete the HPT if they are returning to a P1 licence.
