Australian Capital Territory Current Regulations Australian Capital Territory Current Regulations(1) If the road transport authority is satisfied that, because of a person's special circumstances, the person is a suitable person to be issued with a driver licence of a particular class or kind, the authority may exempt the person from an eligibility requirement under any of the following provisions:
(a) section 22 (2) (a) or (b) (Eligibility to apply for provisional licence);
(b) section 22 (3) (a), (b) or (c) (other than (c) (i)).
(2) If the road transport authority issues a driver licence to a person because of an exemption given under subsection (1), the authority may issue the licence subject to—
(a) conditions that restrict the person to driving a motor vehicle only for purposes connected with the special circumstances; and
(b) any other conditions the authority considers appropriate.
Examples of conditions
The conditions may restrict the times when, and the places where, the person may drive a motor vehicle.
Note It is an offence for the holder of a driver licence to contravene, without reasonable excuse, a condition to which the licence is subject (see s 60).
(3) However, if the person is already the holder of a driver licence, the conditions must apply only to the class or kind of driver licence issued because of the special circumstances.
(4) The road transport authority may exempt a person from the eligibility requirement mentioned in section 62 (4) (f) (which is about the successful completion of training).
(5) An exemption given under subsection (4) may be conditional.
(6) If an exemption under this section is given subject to conditions, the exemption applies only if all the conditions are being complied with.
