    (1)     VicRoads may vary, suspend or cancel a person's driver licence or learner permit if—

        (a)     a court order requires the person to pay a sum of money by way of fine, penalty, costs or restitution or any 2 or more of those things and—

              (i)     the order was made in relation to an offence arising out of the use of a motor vehicle in Victoria, including a parking infringement or traffic infringement; and

              (ii)     a person authorised by law to issue or execute a warrant for the enforcement of the court order notifies VicRoads that the order is wholly or partially unsatisfied; or

Example

A person pays a fee that is dishonoured or reversed.

        (e)     the person has been convicted or found guilty in another jurisdiction or country of an offence that, if the person had been licensed in that jurisdiction or country, would have enabled the driver licensing authority of that jurisdiction or country to vary, suspend or cancel the person's licence or permit; or

        (f)     the person has failed to comply with a condition of the licence or permit; or

        (g)     the person has surrendered the licence or permit to VicRoads or the driver licensing authority in another jurisdiction for cancellation; or

        (h)     the person has failed to comply with a notice given under regulation 70.

    (2)     Subject to subregulation (3) and Part 4, VicRoads must suspend a person's driver licence or learner permit, on receiving notice from another jurisdiction that a person is disqualified for a period from driving in that jurisdiction, for the same period.

    (3)     VicRoads must not suspend a person's driver licence or learner permit if—

        (a)     the person has been disqualified from driving or obtaining a driver licence or learner permit in another jurisdiction as a result of having been convicted or found guilty of a corresponding interstate drink-driving offence in that jurisdiction;
and

        (b)     VicRoads, under section 25 of the Act—

              (i)     has cancelled any driver licence or learner permit held by the person; and

              (ii)     has disqualified the person from obtaining a driver licence or learner permit for a period determined in accordance with that section.

    (4)     VicRoads must cancel a person's driver licence or learner permit if the person is required in accordance with section 58F(2)(b) of the Act to complete a first-stage behaviour change program within a specified period and the person fails to complete the program in the specified period.

    (5)     A person whose driver licence or learner permit is cancelled under subregulation (4) is disqualified from obtaining a driver licence or learner permit until VicRoads is satisfied that the person has completed the first-stage behaviour change program referred to in that subregulation.

    (6)     VicRoads must cancel a person's driver licence or learner permit, on receiving notice from another jurisdiction or country that a person's driver licence or learner permit in that jurisdiction or country has been cancelled because of a judgment, order or decision made under, or otherwise by operation of, the law of that jurisdiction or country.
