A regulation may prescribe rules about the management of drivers, including, for example—
standards about driver skills and knowledge; and
the training of drivers; and

the testing and licensing of drivers; and
rules about licences, including, in particular, the circumstances in which, and the reasons for which, they can be cancelled or suspended or conditions imposed on them; and

the persons who are eligible, and who are not eligible, to apply for the orders; and
how and when applications for the orders are to be made; and
the criteria to be used in deciding applications for the orders; and
the types of restrictions the court may or must apply to licences; and
the periods for which orders are effective; and
