Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What it does: This rule makes it optional—not compulsory—for authorities to suspend your driver’s licence or car registration if you refuse to pay a fine for an offence committed on National Land in the ACT.

Who it affects:

People who receive infringement notices (fines) for traffic or parking offences under the National Land (Road Transport) Ordinance 2014—this covers federal territory such as roads around Parliament House, Lake Burley Griffin, and Canberra Airport.

Why it matters:

Normally, ACT law requires authorities to suspend licences and registrations for unpaid fines after sending reminder notices.
This rule says that for these specific federal territory fines, authorities may choose to suspend you, but they are not required to.
It gives them discretion instead of forcing automatic penalties for non-payment.
