92 Immediate suspensions

(cf 2007 reg cl 76AK)

(1) Transport for NSW may suspend a licence immediately (an
"immediate suspension" ) without complying with clause 91 if Transport for NSW is proposing to cancel the licence because it is of the opinion that the holder of the licence--

(a) intentionally or recklessly contravened any requirement of this Part, including any condition to which the licence may be subject under this Part, or

(b) poses a risk to road safety if he or she continues to hold the licence.

(2) After it imposes an immediate suspension, Transport for NSW must, in respect of the proposed cancellation of the licence--

(a) give notice under clause 91 within 14 days, and

(b) make its final decision within 35 days after giving that notice (the
"specified period" ).

(3) An immediate suspension remains in force with respect to a licence--

(a) if Transport for NSW decides, within the specified period, to cancel the licence--until the licence is cancelled or, if the decision to cancel the licence is the subject of an appeal, until the Court overturns the decision or orders that the suspension should no longer remain in force, or

(b) if Transport for NSW decides, within the specified period, not to cancel the licence--until that decision is made, or

(c) if Transport for NSW makes no decision within the specified period--until the end of that specified period.
