Immediate suspension of work and rest hours exemption (permit)
12A Immediate suspension of work and rest hours exemption (permit)
This section applies if the Regulator considers—
a ground exists to cancel a work and rest hours exemption (permit); and
it is necessary to suspend the permit immediately to prevent or minimise serious harm to public safety.
The Regulator may, by notice (an immediate suspension notice) given to the person to whom the permit was given, immediately suspend the permit until the earliest of the following—
the Regulator gives the holder an information notice under section 31E(5) of the Heavy Vehicle (General) National Regulation and the amendment or cancellation takes effect under section 31E(6) of that Regulation;
the Regulator cancels the suspension;
the end of 56 days after the day the immediate suspension notice is given to the person.
This section applies despite sections 31D and 31E of the Heavy Vehicle (General) National Regulation.
