(1) Commencement of participation in interlock program and interlock period A person commences to participate in an interlock program on the date on which the person is issued with an interlock driver licence. The interlock period applicable to the person also commences on that date.

(2) Cessation of participation A person ceases to participate in an interlock program--

(a) if and when the person is convicted by a court of a major offence during the interlock period, or

(b) during any period in which the person ceases to hold an interlock driver licence before the expiry of the interlock period applicable to the person (whether by reason of cancellation of the licence or otherwise), or

(c) if and when the person is issued with a licence without an interlock condition.

Note--: The statutory rules provide that an applicant for issue of a licence may be required to undergo a fitness to drive assessment or do certain other things.

(3) Without limiting the grounds on which Transport for NSW may refuse to issue a licence without an interlock condition as referred to in subsection (2)(c), it may refuse to issue the licence because of any contravention by the holder of an interlock driver licence of any interlock condition or any medical assessment concerning the holder's fitness to drive.
