            (a)         fix the periods for which a vehicle licence may be granted or renewed;

            (b)         fix the period, whether before or after the expiry of a licence, within which the licence may be renewed;

            (c)         if the regulations enable a licence to be renewed after its expiry, provide that renewal within a specified period after the expiry continues the licence, except that the licence is to be regarded as having been suspended on and from the day of its expiry to the day before the renewal; and

            (d)         provide for 3 or more vehicle licences held by the same person to expire on the same day.
