101. (1) Where a person is disqualified from driving by an order of a court, that order prohibits that person from —
driving a vehicle on a road; and
holding a licence in respect of any group of vehicle.
A holder of a licence in respect of whom an order of disqualification is made shall forthwith surrender the licence to the court, and the court shall cause that licence to be forwarded to the Director for safe custody during the period of disqualification.
A person who fails to surrender that person’s licence to the court when required to do so under subsection (2) commits an offence.
If the court so orders, a person disqualified from driving by an order of a court may be required, at the end of the period of disqualification, to take out a learner’s licence and after that pass or re-pass a driving test before again being licensed to drive any group of vehicle.
Where a court has a discretion to disqualify a person from driving, it may, instead of disqualification, order that a driver’s licence be in abeyance until the person concerned has taken out a learner’s licence and after that passed or re- passed a driving test.
