18D. Cancellation of excessive drink-driving notice

      (1) The Commissioner of Police may cancel an excessive drink-driving notice by notifying (in writing) the person to whom the notice was given.

      (3) If a person is disqualified from driving, in accordance with an excessive drink-driving notice, and is before a court for any reason in relation to the alleged offence, the court may make an order cancelling the notice if it is satisfied that the person would suffer severe and unusual hardship if the order were not made or that, having regard to the public interest and any special circumstances of the case, it is appropriate to do so.

      (4) An order of the Magistrates Court under subsection (3) is final and conclusive and must be given effect to by the Registrar of Motor Vehicles.
