167 Immediate suspension—Act, s 91T
The chief executive may immediately suspend a person’s licence, by giving a written notice to the person, if the chief executive considers—
the motor vehicle stated in the licence does not comply with the vehicle requirements for the licence; or
the suspension is necessary in the public interest.

The chief executive is satisfied the person is behaving in a way that is damaging to the reputation of public passenger transport.
The written notice must state—
that the licence is immediately suspended; and

the chief executive gives the person a regulation notice under section 166;
the end of 56 days after the written notice under subsection (1) is given to the person;
the chief executive gives the person written notice ending the immediate suspension.
