Section 35B
Licensee may make representations against revocation of driving licence
(1)
To revoke a person’s driving licence under section 35A, the Deputy Commissioner of Police must first give a notice to the person concerned —
stating that the Deputy Commissioner of Police proposes to revoke the person’s driving licence on such date (called in this section the proposed revocation date) being at least 4 weeks after the date of giving the notice;
setting out the reasons for revoking the person’s driving licence; and
specifying the period (being at least 4 weeks after the date of giving the notice) within which representations or objections with respect to the proposed revocation may be made.
(2)
Then, the Deputy Commissioner of Police may, after considering any representations or objections which are duly made within the period mentioned in subsection (1)(c) and not withdrawn by the person concerned, revoke the person’s driving licence on the proposed revocation date.
(3)
The Deputy Commissioner of Police must immediately inform the person concerned of his or her decision under subsection (2).
(4)
However, the Deputy Commissioner of Police may, on his or her own initiative, rescind the revocation of a person’s driving licence and reinstate the person’s driving licence, after re‑considering any representations or objections made by that person within the period mentioned in subsection (1)(c).
(5)
In relation to reinstating a person’s driving licence under subsection (4) —
the Deputy Commissioner of Police must regard the person as still satisfying all the requirements relating to the grant of the driving licence; and
from that reinstatement, the driving licence reinstated must be regarded as being continuously in force starting on the date of its grant, disregarding any break because of the revocation of the driving licence.
(6)
This section applies only in relation to a notice given by the Deputy Commissioner of Police under subsection (1) on or after 29 June 2021, and section 35B as in force immediately before that date continues to apply in relation to a notice given by the Deputy Commissioner of Police under that section before that date.
