25K Application of Part
(1) This Part applies if:
(a) a person (the offender) has been found guilty of an offence
against the Traffic Act 1987; and
(b) because of the finding of guilt the offender incurs a licence
disqualification under the Traffic Act 1987; and
(c) all of the offender's unexpired licence disqualifications total
less than 5 years; and
(d) a community order was made for the offender for the offence
(regardless of whether the order was also made for another
offence); and
(e) the community order requires the offender to undertake a
driving program.
(2) This Part applies despite a provision of the Traffic Act 1987 that
provides for:
(a) the cancellation or suspension of the offender's licence; or
(b) a licence disqualification applying to the offender.
Note for subsection (2)
If a person is found guilty of an offence against Part V, Division 2 of the Traffic
Act 1987, the person's licence to drive is automatically cancelled and the person
is disqualified from obtaining a licence for certain periods. Also, under section 41
of that Act, a court may disqualify a person from holding another licence for a
period fixed by it.
