Offences relating to transport services and penalties

79L: Court may require convicted transport service licence holder to sit examination

You could also call this:

“Court can make transport service licence holders take a test if they break rules”

If you have a transport service licence and you are found guilty of breaking certain rules, the court can make you take a test. This test is called the Certificate of Knowledge of Law and Practice examination. The court can make you take this test if you break rules about running a licensed transport service, or if you break other road rules while using a vehicle that’s part of a licensed transport service. Even if you’ve taken this test before, the court can make you take it again.
