   (a)  suspend for the prescribed time the driver licence or permit of any
        person;

   (b)  cancel the driver licence or permit of any person;

        including a category of motor vehicle;

   (d)  vary the conditions to which the driver licence or permit of any
        person is subject by imposing, removing or amending a condition.

(1A) If directed to do so by the sheriff under section 110 of the
Infringements Act 2006, the Corporation must suspend a driver licence or
permit of a person in respect of whom the direction applies until the sheriff
notifies the Corporation that one of the matters referred to in section 111 of
that Act has occurred.

(1B) The suspension of a driver licence or permit suspended under subsection
(1A) ceases when the Corporation receives notification from the sheriff in
accordance with section 111 of the Infringements Act 2006.

(2) The Corporation may, in accordance with the regulations-

   (a)  suspend for any time that it thinks fit the driver licence or permit
        of any person;

   (b)  cancel the driver licence or permit of any person;

   (c)  vary the driver licence or permit of any person by excluding or
        including a category of motor vehicle;

   (d)  vary the conditions to which the driver licence or permit of any
        person is subject by imposing, removing or amending a condition.

(3) In suspending, in accordance with the regulations, a driver licence or
permit on the ground that it would be dangerous for the person to drive a
motor vehicle because of illness or bodily infirmity, defect or incapacity or
because of the effects of treatment for any of those things, the Corporation
may do so on the basis of a report given by a registered medical practitioner
and without conducting any other hearing or investigation into the matter
before the suspension is imposed.
