Power to disqualify from holding driver's licence
28 Power to disqualify from holding driver's licence
If the Court is of the opinion that a youth who has been found guilty of an offence is not a fit and proper person to hold or obtain a licence to drive a motor vehicle, or that disqualification from holding such a licence is an appropriate penalty for the offence committed, the Court may make an order disqualifying the youth from holding or obtaining such a licence, except for such purposes (if any) as may be specified in the order, for a period of stated duration commencing from a specified time.
On application by the youth, the Judge of the Court or a magistrate of the Court may, if satisfied that it is just or expedient to do so, vary or revoke any order for disqualification made under subsection (1).
A youth is not entitled to apply to the Magistrates Court for an order removing a disqualification pursuant to section 172 of the
Road Traffic Act 1961 until after attaining the age of 18 years.
