59 Downgrading of driver licence

(cf cl 40 1999 Reg)

(b) by the Authority under section 33 of the Act,
the Authority may, if the offence or offences (or alleged offence or offences) that gave rise to the cancellation arise wholly or mainly out of the use of a motor vehicle or trailer of a class approved in writing by the Authority for the purposes of this clause, issue the former holder with another driver licence, being one that does not authorise the driving of motor vehicles or trailers of that class, in substitution for the cancelled licence.
(2) Nothing in this clause:
(a) limits any discretion of the Authority to decline to issue a licence to a person, or
(b) permits the issue of any licence to a person who for the time being is disqualified from holding one.
