Passenger Transport Act 2014

A person who was, immediately before the commencement of Part 4 of this Act, the holder of an authority to drive a public passenger vehicle under the former Act is taken to be the holder of a driver authority as a driver for that vehicle under this Act (a continuing authority).

A continuing authority is subject to any conditions imposed by RMS that applied to the authority under the former Act immediately before that commencement and the conditions may be varied or revoked as if they were imposed under this Act.

The term of a continuing authority expires on the day on which it would have expired under the former Act if the former Act had not been repealed, unless it is sooner cancelled under this Act.

A driver authority card that was in force in relation to the holder of a continuing authority is taken to have been issued under this Act.

Section 63 of this Act extends to an application for a driver authority if the applicant made an unsuccessful application for a driver authority, or was the holder of the same or a different kind of driver authority that was cancelled, under the former Act within the period referred to in that section.
