(1) A disqualification
period (which may be permanent) must be prescribed in relation to each
disqualification offence.
(2) Different periods
of disqualification may be prescribed in relation to a disqualification
offence depending on any of the following —
(a)
whether the offence is a first or subsequent offence;
(b) the
circumstances in which the offence is committed;
(c) the
length of time that the driver has continuously held an authorisation that is
in force when the offence is committed;
(d)
whether or not the driver has previously been disqualified under
section 115(1)(b).
(3) The regulations
may provide for the reinstatement of authorisations, or make any other
provision necessary or convenient to be made, to deal with consequences of a
conviction for a disqualification offence being quashed or set aside in a case
in which an authorisation has been cancelled under section 115(1)(a) because
of the conviction.
