(3) If, due to the operation of subsection (2), a licence suspension order is to be taken as having been cancelled under the *Fines, Penalties and Infringement Notices Enforcement Act 1994* section 20(1)(a), then subsections (3) and (4) of that section apply as if the licence suspension order was cancelled under subsection (2) of that section.
