(b) the person's licence to drive is under suspension under the law of another Australian jurisdiction or a foreign country in which it was issued.

(2)  A person ceases to be entitled to a visitor's exemption if –

(a) in the case of a person who holds an Australian driver licence issued under a corresponding law or a foreign driver licence issued under the law of New Zealand, the person has resided in Tasmania for a continuous period of 3 months or a longer period determined by the Registrar (but this paragraph does not apply to a person who holds a valid Driver Identification Document issued by the Department of Defence); or

(c) the reasons for termination of the exemption; and

(d) any action that may be taken by the person in order to regain the exemption; and

(e) the date by which the person must take that action.
