Australian Capital Territory Numbered Regulations

ROAD TRANSPORT (DRIVER LICENSING) AMENDMENT REGULATIONS 2002 (NO 1) (NO 23 OF 2002) - REG 9

substitute

    (3)     If the person is served with a notice of licence suspension under this regulation, any driver licence held by the person is suspended for the period of licence suspension even though the person may not have incurred the relevant number of demerit points under the Act (or these regulations) for the suspension of the kind of driver licence held by the person.

Examples

1     If a person incurs the prescribed number of demerit points for a provisional licence held by the person and, before a notice of licence suspension takes effect, the person is issued with a full licence, the full licence is suspended even though the person has not incurred 12 or more demerit points (see the Act, s 16).

2     If a driver licence held by the person mentioned in example 1 included an additional class, the additional class is also suspended.

Note     An example is part of the Act, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act 2001 , s 126 and s 132).
