Police officers can issue a notice that stops a person from holding or getting a driver licence if they suspect the person committed certain road law offences.

The notice must state when the disqualification ends; this is usually three months after receipt.

Police cannot issue a notice more than 14 days after the offence or the receipt of blood or oral fluid test results.

Police must revoke a notice if they find the detection equipment used for evidence was faulty.

Courts can extend a disqualification notice; the total time cannot exceed the minimum disqualification period for that offence.

A notice is automatically revoked if a court acquits the person, dismisses the charge, or sentences them.

The licensing authority must reduce a person's final disqualification period by the amount of time they already served under a police notice.
