33J Person may apply for extension of time for undertaking
(1) A person may apply to the Registrar for an extension of time to
undertake to be of good driving behaviour.
(2) If the Registrar is satisfied:
(a) the person has not received the suspension notice in sufficient
time to give the undertaking (for a reason other than wilful
avoidance); or
(b) the circumstances are exceptional and warrant extending the
time for the person to give the undertaking;
the Registrar may allow additional time (and may, if necessary,
defer the date of commencement of the suspension period) for the
person to give the undertaking.
(3) A person can make only one application under subsection (1), but
nothing prevents the Registrar, on the Registrar's own initiative,
granting a further extension if satisfied the circumstances warrant it.
