Do I need pay for both a new driver licence and heavy vehicle driver licence?
No. The process for applying for a heavy vehicle driver licence has not changed. You will only need to pay the one fee for the issue of the driver licence. You will only be issued with the one licence. When you are issued your Queensland driver licence, the licence will show only the highest class or classes of vehicle that you are eligible to drive. This means you are allowed to drive each type of vehicle listed for that licence code. However, motorbike class RE or R will appear separately on the licence. If a cardholder applies for a class HR (heavy rigid), HC (heavy combination) or MC (multi-combination) licence they will receive a magenta Heavy Vehicle Driver Licence. If they only hold a class C (car), LR (light rigid), MR (medium rigid), RE (learner approved motorbike) or R (unrestricted motorbike) licence they will receive a yellow (gold) driver licence.
