Kyle James Richardson, 24, was charged with driving uninsured, driving unlicensed, driving unregistered, and dangerous driving causing death while adversely affected by an intoxicating substance in the wake of the crash at Kanigan on December 21, 2023.
Those charges were mentioned before Maryborough Magistrates Court on Monday.
The crash happened just after 8.15pm on December 21 when a Nissan Terrano and Toyota Yaris travelling on the Bruce Hwy at Kanigan collided head on.
Mr Richardson, who is in custody, did not appear in court during the mention.
Lawyer Morgan Harris requested a four-week adjournment of the matter.

Ms Reilly lived in the township of Reeseville, near Maleny in the Mary Valley, and it is understood she had family in Maryborough.
She had been working at a popular Caloundra cafe the Pastry Lab at the time of her tragic death.
