(b) any proceeding on a charge of a type 2 vehicle related offence or offences in relation to which the application is made has not been decided.

'(2) If the driver of the motor vehicle has not been found guilty of type 2 vehicle related offences in relation to offences committed on 4 occasions within the prescribed period, the court must adjourn the application until the driver is found guilty of charges in relation to type 2 vehicle related offences committed on at least 4 occasions within the prescribed period.
