and those proceedings have not been determined.
(2) Transport for NSW must issue the person with a driver licence or certificate of vehicle registration, as the case requires, by way of restoration or reinstatement of the driver licence or vehicle registration suspended or cancelled under this Division.
(3) A driver licence or vehicle registration so restored or reinstated has effect, subject to this Act and the Road Transport Act 2013 , until the date on which--
