In Queensland, you can drive a moped with a car license , provided you meet certain requirements.

To drive a moped with a car license, you must be at least 17 years old and have held your car license for at least 1 year.

If you hold an open car driver license (Class C) and are over 17 years old, you may ride a moped without obtaining a motorcycle license, provided that the moped has a maximum engine capacity of 50cc, a maximum speed of 50 km/h, and complies with relevant safety standards.

However, if you have held your car license for less than one year, you will need to obtain a special learner's permit and display L plates on the moped while you are learning.

It's always a good idea to check with the Queensland Government's Department of Transport and Main Roads to make sure you have the most up-to-date and accurate information.
