29AAS. When court finds person guilty

(1) If a court finds a person guilty of an offence under this Part, the person's licence is cancelled and the person is disqualified from obtaining another licence for the minimum period specified in relation to the offence, taking into account whether the offence is a first, second or subsequent offence.

(2) For subsection (1), a court which finds a person guilty of an offence under this Part must specifically find whether the offence is the person's first, second or subsequent offence.

(3) The cancellation and disqualification occur automatically by operation of this Part, but take effect from the date of the finding of guilt.

(4) The court may order that the person be disqualified from obtaining a licence for a period longer than any minimum period specified in this Part, as the court considers fit.

(5) The period of disqualification is reduced by any period of licence suspension imposed under section 29AAN in relation to the same offence.
