Road Transport (Driver Licensing) Act 1999

The holder of a restricted licence must not, without reasonable excuse, contravene a condition to which the licence is subject.

If the holder of a restricted licence is convicted, or found guilty, by a court of an offence against subsection (1), the licence is automatically cancelled unless the court orders otherwise.

If the licence is cancelled under subsection (2), the cancellation takes effect from the time of the conviction or finding or, if the court orders a later date, on the later date.

Subsection (2) does not apply if the licence is cancelled under another provision of the road transport legislation.

Under the Road Transport (General) Act 1999, s 66 (1) the disqualification of a person from holding or obtaining a driver licence (whether or not by order of a court) operates to cancel any driver licence held by the person.

The holder of a licence cancelled under subsection (2) is disqualified from applying for, or being issued with, another restricted licence for the remainder of the period for which the person was originally disqualified from holding or obtaining a driver licence.
