When sentencing for driving offences under s 22 of the Crimes Act 1958 (Vic), the court must have regard to rehabilitation in the sense of reintegration into society when fixing the period of driver licence disqualification, including the effect of disqualification on the offender's ability to conduct their trade or employment. The disqualification period should bear a proportionate relationship to the period of incarceration. Section 89(1) of the Sentencing Act 1991 (Vic), which prescribes a minimum 24-month disqualification for certain driving offences, does not apply to offences under s 22.
