303. Variation, suspension or cancellation of driver licence or permit



(1) The Corporation may vary, suspend or cancel a person's driver licence or
learner permit if it appears to the Corporation that-

   (a)  the person has failed or refused to submit to a test required under
        section 27 of the Act or has failed such a test; or



   (b)  it would be dangerous for the person to drive a vehicle because of
        illness or bodily infirmity, defect or incapacity or because of the
        effects of treatment for any of those things; or

   (c)  the person does not have sufficient knowledge of road law or driving
        ability, or is not suitable to hold a driver licence or learner
        permit; or

   (d)  a court order requires the person to pay a sum of money by way of
        fine, penalty, costs or restitution or any two or more of those things
        and-

   (i)  the order was made in respect of an offence arising out of the use of
        a motor vehicle in Victoria, including a parking infringement or
        traffic infringement; and

   (ii) a person authorised by law to issue or to execute a warrant for the
        enforcement of a court order notifies the Corporation that the order
        is wholly or partially unsatisfied; or

   (e)  the person is no longer eligible, in accordance with regulation 201,
        for a particular category of licence or permit; or

   (f)  the licence or permit was issued or renewed in error; or

   (g)  a cheque submitted to the Corporation as payment of a fee under these
        Regulations has been dishonoured; or

   (h)  the person has been convicted in another State, Territory or country
        of an offence which, if the person had been licensed in that State,
        Territory or country, would have enabled the driver licensing
        authority of that State, Territory or country to suspend, vary or
        cancel the person's licence or permit; or

        (i)    the person has failed to comply with a condition of the licence
               or permit; or

   (j)  the person has surrendered the licence to the Corporation or the
        licensing authority in another jurisdiction for cancellation.

(2) The Corporation must suspend or cancel a person's driver licence or permit
if the person is disqualified from driving in another jurisdiction or the
person's driver licence in that jurisdiction was cancelled because of a
judgment, order or decision made under, or otherwise by operation of, the law
of that jurisdiction.

(3) The Corporation may, upon payment by the driver licence or permit holder
of the appropriate fee, vary a licence or permit to correct any error or
omission in it and issue a replacement driver licence or permit document.
