        (1)         If the holder of a driver’s licence that is a provisional licence is disqualified from holding or obtaining a driver’s licence —

            (a)         by a licence suspension order made under the Fines, Penalties and Infringement Notices Enforcement Act 1994 ; or

            (b)         by a disqualification notice given to the person under the Road Traffic Act 1974 section 71C,

                the provisional licence is, by operation of this subsection, suspended so long as the disqualification continues in force.

        (2)         During the period of its suspension under subsection (1) a provisional licence is of no effect, but the provisions of this section do not operate so as to extend the period for which the licence may be valid or effective beyond the time when the licence would be due to expire.
